This Is the Reason... by ~iHedge:iconiHedge:



5.12 Part-2

If only there was a salve
our angels could smooth on our hearts
whenever sadness pierced
or ego bruised
or love broke;
and it would be a tourniquet,
an aloe,
and a cast all at once—

But maybe the salve was the Tree of Life,
and the angels,
restricted from distributing the healing,
guard it with fired steel
instead.

Full Title:This Is the Reason Depression Exists.

I asked my mom how to cure bruising, and she said a long, medical word in Russian that most certainly was NOT aloe...but I call upon my powers of poetic liscence.

She also said something about putting a type of poison on a bruise...

Maybe this is why most Russian medicine is illegal in America.

I like this a lot, I love the imagery and references to angels.

I was gonna say something, but I forgot. ;~;

Thank you! :love:

It's okay. I thank you for wanting to say it. :)

Where sorrow meet a silver resolution,
Where sunshine's gentle and refrains its rays,
Where there is no darkness--only shadow--
That is where I wish to spend my days.
