All It Takes

All it takes is a picture

A simple social media post

An update of how well he’s doing

And there’s a twinge in my heart


All it takes is a few drops

Of summer rain cascading from the sky

A reminder of things she loved

And the aching begins


All it takes is a story

Of someone’s snide remark

Memories, unpleasant, come rushing in

And my anxiety is triggered


All it takes is an embrace

Enveloping and tight

No words spoken

And I can breathe again
