Notes About The Poem

Broken

Lord, I am calling you,
can you not hear my small voice?
The pages of my live are fluttering away,
empty pages . . . 
and I am helpless to stop them.
Can you not give me a sign?
Something to grasp onto.
Life is a stage, it is said
and I am, on that stage alone,
broken and lost.

The heartache I hear, the beauty I see, the poetry I feel. Constance, the last line is my favourite, as it speaks to me on too many levels to mention is this tiny space. So glad you're on Soup, Dearheart, and that perhaps ... just a tad... its providing a small comfort... hope you are doing somewhat better. Your inspiration was never forgotten. Hugs, Cyndi

just saw this one come up. I love it, Constance. I think I am feeling this way too feeling so sad for hubbie, who has not found a new job yet. He may be forced to go back to that horrid company he was working for last month, since they said they would keep a spot for him if he wanted back. Is everything ok with you?
