Parent and Child
Both affected by active addiction,
return to their separate and together roles.
Verbal battles raged and calmed.
Addiction arrested and behaving as if not present.
Spirits dampened and cleansed.
Minds and bodies broken and healing.
Parent and Child
Both awakening to recovered sobriety,
welcome each other to share in growth.
Conversation gently unfurling about life and living.
Addiction arrested and known for what it is.
Spirits brightened and opening up.
Minds and bodies strengthened in readiness for what is to come.
“Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that
draws one person to another, not words.”
~ Rumi
