Healing

a need to come
just to you

heard you could wipe
away

hurt
despair
sorrow

for you have a cape
that enfolds all
black on the
outside
red, inside

it is said you will draw
one in
close to your chest
then enfold your arms around

as all senses are left
with the outside world

only comfort found, within

sometimes healing takes
but a moment’s lifetime

other times,
moments longer

so may I step up, and in?

           ~*~

only you know, that
after the healing
the black cape
turns white on
the outside,
but remains
red,
within

and disappears

I like this phrase:

sometimes healing takes
but a moment’s lifetime

This says a lot and in a couple of different ways.  Indeed, a thought-provoking write.
