Therapist (Inspired By Richard Wlodarski's Poetry Lives In Freedom) Poem by M.J. Lemon
Therapist (Inspired By Richard Wlodarski's Poetry Lives In Freedom)
The therapist I saw today
reminded me of days gone
long gone
those days when ugly things
happened
when the worst that could
did happen
And those are now remembered as
the good old days.
And while I can call them the good
old days
I can tell myself I am
grown up now
and evolved enough
not to want
to want to relive those
long gone days
not today
My therapist does not
exonerate or decriminalize
the toxins
carried along from those long gone days
may still stir the brain
they pop like the vessel
spilling a bouquet over
the white canvass of the eye
And my therapist
the canvass of my rhyme
prepares to deal with another day
a day long gone
What comes just may
prod the spirit to play
happiness
at least for this day
likely will not fray
'There is no shortage of good days. It is good lives that are hard to come by.' - Annie Dillard.
