Renewed

You wore that ring
for just one month
what did you think of it?

Did it bind like iron?
Burn like coal?
or sooth like a balm?

I don't know if I'll ever know now-
or that it even matters.
Seems as though
time moves on
either way
and that's just fine.

Fortunately
the heart is unique
and no matter how much divided
will always come back together
like a never-ending apple pie.

I sing the old songs
every now and again
to remind me
of times spent.

Just a visit
to a feeling
-for each time it's different-
to guide me
on my journey today.

I'll keep the songs
but need to erase some other things
I think you'll understand
I think I'm whole again.
