Excellent Healing time is an illusion No Such Magic by Jessica Wheeler 10 Line Poem writing prompt entry Artwork by cleo85 at FanArtReview.com

I pray you're not dismayed when I confess Time hasn't healed the pain, I hurt no less Without a wand to wield or spell to cast  I fear the grief in me will only last    So see me stand before you, bare and stark  Don't underestimate her lasting mark  If there's a trick or trance, then I'll be healed  But realms of grief and time have not revealed    The quest I'm on to heal, I fear ends tragic  For I have yet to come across this magic   Writing Prompt Write a poem of any type. But it should have a total of 10 lines. Author Notes My inspiration for this piece was drawn not only from my own experience with grief, but from what I have witnessed loved ones go through through, as well. The general assumption that with time, wounds should heal, is unfair. Some are so deep, that they may never close. Many push for this out of sincere love, unaware that it can cause further heartache. The worst thing we can be for a grieving loved one, is impatient. There is no magic fix, nor should there be a deadline. Have patience and be kind.
