My soul is smooth,
The gnarled wounds
Alleviated.

Your assistance
Will not go unattended;
Your kindness -
A gift beyond words.

I know,
I did the work -
You “only provided guidance."

Yet my gratitude
Rides at the top
Of tired emotions,
My rebalancing a shock
Of joyous proportions.

This new affiliation is foreign,
The sense of renewal
Chasing away the dim of scars,
The din of deprecations -
All those influences,
Swept away on a new wind.

Thank you for your help.
