Book I: Through Darkness and Thorns
Chapter III: How Could You

Once an Old Story

Like a builder
I repair and prepare
my song

Frightened as I crawl
change - transform

trusting my love
your love

Once this old story
held my attention

Now I don’t need it

Gerry Brodey

REPARING MY WORLD

Once an old story held my attention. Now I don't need it.
