Imbedded In Pages

I picked up my tube of super glue In hopes of piecing together Sad lonely broken you As I sifted through the bits I wasn't sure what to do Although there were many pieces I was missing quite a few Looking back to yesterday tomorrow now and then I Kept searching and searching over and over again To find the missing pieces I looked to your pen More than twenty-two missing or perhaps less than ten Imbedded in the paper those pieces I sought The lessons you had learned and the pain they had brought All your moments revealed They came together in thought I heard paper like screaming cutting through me like a shot The glue I was holding Dissolved slowly like sand so I gathered up your heart and held it in my hand My tears fell amongst the pieces in a way I didn't understand Your heart became too hot to handle So I placed it on the land Lifting heart up from the ground You placed it slowly in your chest All those bits that truly formed you came together and we were blessed Hidden answers you chose to scribe where always meant to be a test Revealing what we all are missing those parts of us that go unconfessed

A powerful piece, which feels written directly from your soul. This feels like a spiritual journey between two who have enlightened and awakened the very best of themselves to each other to now move forward freely and with a purity of love not previously realized. The title, the theme of "paper, pieces, pen" elevates the emotions to a wondrous place. Spectacular writing, an absolute joy to read..a special favourite :-) blessings, lynn

You really excel when it comes to your more allegorical musings, and this is no exception ... our heart in the pages of a ripped up poem, wow. You wrote this tenderly, as well as powerfully. "those parts of us that go un-confessed" << If your heart was penned out, I think it would be a library.

Now THIS was what I needed to read. Not for myself, but for those who truly need that solution to the "broken" ground they walk on. Refreshingly powerful.
