Notes About The Poem
Written on January 16, 2024

Holes
I have holes in me,
Where elated moments once blurred
The reality and the dream,
The winds and the seas,
The joy and the grief.
I have holes in me,
Where colors can bleed
Scarlet and cobalt,
Violet becomes my destiny,
While truth reaches beneath the weeds,
Planting seeds of dandelion dreams.
I have holes in me,
Where robins speak,
Betraying my need,
Listening like the stars
Who see through my façade,
Into the blossoming melancholy.
I have holes in me,
Where darkness rises,
Dancing with the oaks and pines,
Risking every doubt, each fear,
With milky laughter,
Captivating even the night’s heart.
I have holes in me,
Where silence offends
Disturbing the peace of friends,
Who want to kiss away my fragile wings,
With their well-meaning gifts,
Their blessings ache to believe…
Because they gave, I have changed –
The holes have been stuffed with light,
Glistening shards of hope
My holes, jammed together,
By generous souls who once thought –
My holes could be mended,
And, they let the light in, lingering
To watch – as those holes continued
To bring my life’s breathe.
My holes – could it possibly be,
Those holes – they’re the lessons,
The faith and the freedom,
The messages of a life lived better,
Because my holes – just holes,
Hold me all together!
