Both

Who knew that being put back together felt so much like falling apart...

What Autumn Brought Me

What Autumn brought me was a harvest.
What Autumn brought me was ripe fruit.
What Autumn brought me was leaves dancing on the ground.
What Autumn brought me was something new.
What Autumn brought me was a warm sweater.
What Autumn brought me was fresh air.
What Autumn brought me was a new wind.
What Autumn brought me was a hidden sunshine.
What Autumn brought me was a brewing love.
What Autumn brought me was you. 

Ren

There is a scar on my bottom lip from the first time you kissed me.
There are two scars on my hips from the night we first danced.
There is a scar on my left foot from when you first picked me up. 
There is a scar on my right hand from when you first held it. 
There is a cut in my heart that I can not yet tell if it will become a scar or wound, but I know that it is healing. 

They may think it rather odd to heal from a cut, but that is what we do. 
We heal from our cuts. 

Healing Wounds

I am getting better.

Restored

"We dance in our brokenness. 
We dance in pieces."

What once was

What once was a whisper is now a voice.
What once was a whimper is now a moan. 
What once was an idea is now a world. 

...healing in the dance

When she dances, the memories come back. 

She can sort them out and remember the times.

The steps become the sight, and the movements become the breath. 

There is healing in the dance. 

So, tonight she dances and she doesn't stop to rest. 

Because when she dances, the healing begins.

And all who watch are captivated by peace. 

Let her dance.

Let her move.

Let her feel her way through time. 

There is healing in the dance.
