Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'torn In the Broken Places'

I am at that crossroad again 
Lord I've chosen wrong -  
Strengthen me
Lift me up
Dry these tears like only you can

Inside something feels so torn

You see beyond the veneer
You see the core 
The twists and turns 
That only you can unravel

This vessel is leaking 
It's broken in broken places
Touch my core, touch my spirit

The fleeting moments
Where I feel like giving up
Where I feel this is the end

Sweep me up in your embrace 
Make me feel whole again
At times when everything falls apart 

Do it not because I ask
But 
Because you know exactly 
What I need

Kabuteng P.Ink K. September 3, 2014 at 10:16 AM Back here again, Missy! Thank you for letting me know that you are ok-- I guess that in some ways, I can relate with you and have those days, where some things just feel heavier (ok umm that sounds kinda have a double meaning with the aunt in the red car-- see I remember that poem of yours, haha, no I am not talking about that). I think you know what I am trying to get at. But yes, during those bleak days, we see light in our faith in God. Hope you're having a good week! Mwahugs! :)

Kabuteng P.Ink K. August 29, 2014 at 7:35 PM You know what I have always admired in you Missy? Your very strong faith in God-- I don't know what you are going through now, but I think that through it all, you will be fine, and come out stronger-- reading your poem is truly inspiring and strengthening-- I can go back to this whenever I lose hope and find the faith that you have... you are so right, God knows indeed what we need and in time, He will show us the answers. Mwahugs and such a nice surprise to hear from you! I hope all is well!

Andrea Dietrich August 29, 2014 at 1:39 AM I know you are someone who writes a lot from the heart so I feel bad that something has happened to you? I hope everything gets set right in your life. I wish you were here more often. Remember the old days? So many members have strayed. it's great to see you back.

Poet Tacito August 28, 2014 at 12:08 PM I think my only concern in this piece is that, it seems, the heart NEEDS another to be strong again. A heart needs not the beats of another to thrive on its own rhythm. We want to feel that peace. But, if they're not willing to give it, walk on. This was a very deep & honest writing.
