You
“You”
So you break
and the life of you
falls through
the cracks in
the floor
you become
invisible to all
just like a ghost
walking through
walls
silently
you watch
and
silently
you learn
and the softness
that ethereal core
apple seed
hidden in the
hardness of you
it wakes
and it grows
slowly a small life
unfurls
it blooms
there is a
strength in you
that you never knew
some small Light
in you remains
Darkness came
to fan the flame,
lit “Love “,
to lead you
back to
You

“It’s the hard things that break;
soft things don’t break.
It was an epiphany I had today
and I just wonder why
it took me so very, very long to see it.
You can waste so many years of your life
trying to become something hard
in order not to break;
but it’s the soft things that can’t break.
The hard things are the ones
that shatter into a million pieces.”
