Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Listen to poem:

Pick Up the Pieces

It might have all been illusion
Your dreams now lay shattered
Your whole life seems in shambles
Don’t despair

Hold your head high
Reset your sights on the big picture
Reevaluate your ambitions
Pick up and juggle the pieces

Rebuild the puzzle
Take time to refocus
Time to recalibrate
And not lose balance

Kai Michael Neumann March 31, 2018 at 5:24 AM Wise words. Been there, done that, have the T-shirt. And will probably have to do it again every now and then. Many wishes, Kai Line Gauthier March 31, 2018 at 8:05 AM A true boy scout, always ready. Thanks for your visit and much appreciated comment, Kai.

Caren Krutsinger March 29, 2018 at 5:08 AM Pick up and juggle the pieces. Yes! They are all there. It is up to us to regroup them and build something new. Perfect advice Line. Great, Line Gauthier March 29, 2018 at 8:25 AM Thanks for your lovely visit and comment, Caren.

Kai Michael Neumann March 29, 2018 at 2:29 AM Just what I discussed with my therapist yesterday. Seems banal, but the short cut does not work...Broken pieces need to reveal themselves first, before they can be reassembled. Many wishes, Kai Line Gauthier March 29, 2018 at 8:22 AM Thank you so much for your wonderful visit and comment, Kai. Most appreciated.
