Are you OK – Reprise

At last, the crossroads revealed its secret
— a treasure,
not of gold but of pearl,
hidden deep within,
the cause of pain,
now lifted away. 

A pearlescent stone,
small but mighty,
a reminder that healing is not just found,
but forged.And now she rests,
ready to turn the page,
awaiting the next chapter —
a little lighter,
a little stronger,
carrying gratitude in every breath.
