It is dusty on the edges
It is slightly rotten.
I guard it without thinking.
I focus on it once a year
when I shake it out in the wind.
I do not ache.
I would not trade.

I love this! It honors what was and is grateful for the growth of a new beginning. This is a keeper! Thanks Sage!
My pleasure, Beth! You bring the same voice and vision to this conversation, and I am grateful!
Umm…I don’t quite understand the meaning of this poem. Can you guys explain it to me?
