There is such depth and beauty in this post, and in your poem, @rhondak. Some things can only be healed by letting them see the light, even if they are a bit veiled in art in the process.

Letting go would tear these careworn threads apart.

This made my heart hurt. I love this poem. It says so much, and yet leaves it to personal interpretation for the reader. You've spoken your mind, and at the same time allowed us to identify with it on our own terms.
