Let it go




A piece of history, personal history that is...


Born here many years ago...


Mother died here 2 years ago...


From a hospital, to a nursing home...


I still hear the sobbing...


still feel the sadness...


So many elderly, so lost...


Hurting in ways of the heart...


Drugged to be kept quiet...


Just waiting...


waiting for it end.


Finally, it has closed...

Almost there....


Times are a changing...

Weather shifting...

Spring has arrived...

Feels like summer...

Love the new growth...

The green of Mother Earth...

The warmth of the sun...

The scents of the warmth of Mother Earth...

A time to grow...

The seeds have been planted...

The pods are reaching up...

Stretching...

Reaching..

Breathing...

Loving...

Being.
