Reunited

Worn words of a poet are fragile pieces of a puzzle misaligned, and tumbling onto the page while their meanings awaken the senses like curious, lost children hiding, in noisy confusion who have been separated at birth yet have always continued to believe in each other. They may acknowledge their common heritage but only when discovered and reunited by the poet's crafty pen in a zealous deliberation will they look up and search for approval in the eyes of the reader looking for recognition looking for acceptance becoming once again a family living in harmony just as they were always meant to be ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Carrie Richards 12/8/12 For Joe Maverick's Contest "Occlusion"
