Karma ~

There was very little left 

to say,

but the cruelty could have been

limitless. 

She chose grace instead,

and all I remembered of her,

before she left,         

was humility.

She was what she was, but 

I left a larger person,

though broken.

I stepped out and found 

the evening clouds 

tinged with an ochre       

I had never seen.

For everything one loses,

there is something which always 

comes back.
