Trial by Fire
Every wish
that pulls within
and pushes out
and takes its win
does so
with a mental thrust
that comes to be
a feeling's must.
That thought
or pictures accolade,
that goading prompt
or tempted fade,
That mantra known,
repeated soon,
releases what
was locked at noon.
And what embarrassed some away,
became a trust
both night and day.

Author's Note
As I read poems to her, I could hear her heartbeat and breathing until her breath stopped, and then started again after a brief intermission.
