I remember 9 Dec 2019

[... when we cast into the ocean the thing we did not want to remember]

I remember

My story has not served me well.
It has tormented me
and wrapped me in invisible chains
.... chains of remembered pain
.... chains of relived feelings


But my story has been cast away
.... and now I remember where the story lies


Waves now wash the story
where it lies in the rocks.
The water dissolves the paper
On which the story lives

The pain of the story washes into the ocean

Peace.
