The Wounded Year

When all the marbles leave the bag Fret not, weekend wrangler, For the beat of your heart Wobbles the very Earth This your wounded year With waves calling from pier to pier Rise, rise your gutless cheer! Fear not the flashing spheres Running over shadow-patched cracks Gleaming with the glory of unkept dreams Sending shockwaves through Heartlands.

I feel a great sense of encouragement and empowerment in this write, Matt. "For the beat of your heart wobbles the very Earth" is very true and a very astute observation. Like the upbeat ending. Great read! Love, Carolyn
