By Charles Robert Lindholm
She set off
an emotional
nuclear explosion
when she said,
“I want a divorce”
I was blinded by
a burning truth
searing my soul
the shock wave
of her words
wounded my heart
the devastation
was complete
it destroyed
our home
our family
and our dreams
of a future
It ended – us
with an irrevocable
unilateral decision
that left memories
broken and scattered about
in my mind
but the world kept on turning
the hurting slowly subsided
as Time’s healing helped end the pain
and Hope has brought
a new and better future
than I could ever
have imagined
and like the Spring
follows Winter
Love has returned
to my heart
