Time The Healer

Last week I decided in my infinite wisdom to leave my phone on the train.  I had left a phone on a bus 3 days earlier, that was recovered.  Maybe I was testing the honesty of Londoners.  I do remember not being gracious about the fact that the person had picked up the phone , not handed it in to driver (I know who does that). Then after 3 hours and many texts finally answering the phone and a 30 minute journey £10 later I was reunited with my phone.  

This time it is lost I have to accept that and move on.  Yes I had been using it as my notepad, it contained over 100 poems and my other random thoughts.  Unfortunately at least 20 were not published anywhere, and no I didn’t backup and no I don’t have a copy.   Hindsight that wonderful thing after the event ....

#113 Time The Healer

How quickly we forget

Last week I was in turmoil

Over the loss of my phone

Now I sit here without

Without feeling alone

What a difference time makes

It does really heal

Whether it is a numbness

Or an inability to feel

I have moved on

It is all just a vague memory

At the time I thought it was awful

Such a catastrophe.

I hope there have been lessons learned

New pages have been turned

I now look for the reason

I feel that somehow I have got off lightly

That brings an ironic smile to my face

These things we value

Are so easily replaced

Although when loss

We make all that fuss

Now I sit and reason

That I have enough
