Journeying

 

She does so want

to be good at healing

Not to be sceptical or

too believing

Not to be dramatic

as if she only has a burden

To be nonchalant even

All smiles, awaiting

positive outcomes

The season helps,

though the air is

very cold, the sun is

shining through

Crocuses are blooming

in the flower beds

White, yellow, the colour

purple,

She remembers the lines

of a famous poem

“When I am old, I shall 

wear purple”

“Warning” it’s called

What was the warning?

Aging perhaps?

She has no desire to 

wear purple

but there is an underground

desire to be more

herself, 

Whatever that is 

Digression is her strong point

What of being good at healing?

What about that journey?

She thinks it might go well,

So many prayers,

so much encouragement,

so many taking part

She is not alone

That may be enough
