While The Stitches Heal

Familiarity has made the 
Board
an addiction,
a place to go to escape my desk.

Friends have made this place
home away from home.
Home away from work.
A place to bare my heart
without fear of
judgement. Only
support.
Wisdom that stretches
the world, through voiceless
words, eyeless beings,
ageless experience.

I'm trusting you
with a sometimes
faintly
beating heart.
Take care of it while the stitches heal.

Keep it warm,
like you already have,
since you welcomed me.
