Poem Title:
Poem
Sometimes, life just fractures into pieces Too many to put back together Time is consumed with a lot of work Often falling into circles going no where Striving so hard for solutions and peace As turmoil wrenches the heart and mind It is easy to fall and hard to get up It's not easy to see the beauty once there As problems and the healing are priority It's as if a veil is between conflict and peace You can only do so much, when others don't So many things take waiting for to happen While time speeds and you feel stuck What was once inner strength, feels weaker You yearn to feel light as leaves fluttering in breeze You try to slow down with the sound of wind chimes You wonder, if anything that's done is ever enough? You even wonder if you've lost yourself? Memories return of joyful days and pleasant places It all seems so long ago, so very far away! You wonder why it's so hard to reach now? How can it all be so far out of reach? Walking on fractured pieces of life each day, That feel like footsteps cutting your feet And you wonder if things stay out of reach, - Will they ever be the same - ? Heidi Sand 5/31/23
