In the wake of loss

The path has been cleansed.
The cancer makes me no longer miss the limb.
No longer drawing from me.
Out with the sick and also the well.
I no longer fear this change.
It only means I have a chance, the chance that was absent before.

I no longer fear this change.
It only means I have a chance, the chance that was absent before.
In the wake of loss...
And without those nerves it no longer hurts to remember.
I no longer fear this change.
It only means I have a chance, the chance that was absent before.
In the wake of loss I see clear
