rebuilding

It had been a beautiful mosaic of togetherness
passion bliss unconditional love miracle and blessing
Klimt’s kiss and the snake not eating the apple
a delusion maybe and clinging to impermanence

the beautiful shards are still very much there
do not fit any longer are awaiting new ways
what remains is friendship and letting go
outcome detachment and having faith in the future

aligning rational thinking with emotions and feelings
practicalities and simply getting through the day
without harming each other in love and tolerance
and not falling into the trap of hurting ourselves

suffering bears the chance for growth change and independence
for accepting what is and being open willing and honest
without prayer and meditation I would be lost forever
therefore I surrender one day at a time and for good
