A Cross Over - Anita Holzberg

In time I will remember
  who I was
       how disorganized the mind
              how writing bills a chore
                   always losing the stamp

   In time I will remember
       the anger from the divorce
             my children far
                   my life a class
               for teaching

   In time the petals of a life
            cross over
                    60's a new beginning
      the surgery life changing

             renewal is what it is
                 spiritual and physical

                   I give myself permission
                       to grieve, to love, to explore
                               to take that path
                             that finds me
                                out in a field of poppies
                                           with the rain lightly falling
                                     my shoulders caressed by the wet
                                           shower
                                     and of thee I sing
                                            in these moments, too
