Healing:Tracing the Fault Line

Tracing The Fault Line 

Tracing the Fault Line wherever it goes
 This way   that way...Oops! Watch your toes!
Back to the core where all trauma began 
  Daylight   Midnight...Oops! Sinking sand!

Tracing The Fault Line:  each challenge a fault 
  Old wounds   New wounds...Oops! Just like salt!
Replay each story... go back to the start 
   Dig deep   Down deep...Oops! Hold your heart!

Tracing the Fault Line...back to the start
   Wherever it goes...
          Will heal your heart.

Darren White Date: 12/10/2016 6:06:00 AM You know, these mazes? On paper? Where you have to find the way from A to B, or from A to the center? That is what your poem reminds me of. Oops, wrong way, faulty shortcut. But eventually you get there and you heal your heart. And it flows too, great cadence, no oops there :) Login to Reply Deborah Burch Date: 12/10/2016 7:55:00 AM Thanks Darren! Hugggs!:)
