Ash Wednesday
Today I will try
to move past the brokenness,
to forgive myself.
I will try a fast
from maudlin thoughts, from searching.
I will be here, now.
I have let you down.
Pretended to be joyful.
I have been so lost.
The essence of you
was hidden from me, and now-
Illuminated.

“ I will be here, now.” Love this line and the closing ones.
