Fragmented Feelings

You're a naive, dyed-in-the-wool dreamer, following the erratic paths of hope; blind to the route fate's chosen for your soul. Memories are prisms focused on the past; observing shadows that cannot be changed, while yesterday's failed dreams levy their toll. You have shared the innate beauty of love, and the fantasy of dreamy places; freeing your spirit to soar like the birds. But the edge of betrayal cuts like glass; your wounded heart, bleeding tears of regret, till anger dictates love's departing words. From birth to the finality of death, human emotions are tethered to love; even those that question its existence. There is a private place deep in your heart filled with forgotten, fragmented feelings, where dreams dwell, fueled by hope's persistence.

Exquisite stanzas, Emile, summed up in the last one with "a magical place somewhere in your heart." I love this line.

Thanks Milt, your words are a ray of sunshine on an otherwise dismal day my friend, Emile.
