"Better Days" is a poem I wrote earlier this year when many of my friends were dealing with sickness, stress, sadness and various crises. I found mvself texting them or telling them that better days were coming soon. I told myself it, too. I know that can sound delirious or worse...like a platitude but I tried to say it more like a spell, to evoke a feeling of sending something good to the future, wishing for something better, and as a remembering that we have been designed on a deep level, beyond our intelligence, to heal. Mostly, I wrote it to remind us that we all have mended from things that may once have seemed permanently broken.
