Renew

Chilled,

rejection on ice.

Time frozen skills

painfully renewed.

Burnt,

around the edges.

Emotions tanning

in retaliatory rays.

Diving,

into relationships

murky, and untested

paddling new strokes.

Spelunking,

the unknown self,

discovering a friend

once thought an enemy.

Springing,

into new thoughts,

welcoming change.

Face lifted  to the sun.
