Me

Pieces of glass

some shattered

some fractured

some broken.

My life’s words:

in breaths

in gasps

in prayer’s unspoken.

The shattered pieces are razor sharp, and will never again be part of the whole.

The fractured, broken ones, with glue may mend, with strength to accomplish that goal.

But fresh tears and red, red blood leave stains on my life, and a salty flood…

Tears for shattered things, for fractured broken hearts, cut more deeply than the glass; razor sharp.

LIGHT shines through the colored glass in hues so deep…

Be the unspoken promise I long to keep.

While never again the same unbroken me…

arrange the pieces of my life artfully.

May the tears and the blood I have cried; to LOVE, and to my life be applied:

Translucent…

until I, face to face see

LOVE looking through me

I write to soothe my soul. I empty my words onto napkins, scraps of paper, receipts... anything really. When I was very young my mom told me to stop writing on my hand. I never did. I write on it to this day. I’ve lost so many scraps of Self on soggy napkins; I’ve yet to lose my hand. The words I scribble there may wash off, but since they are inscribed in my soul, once they are released, from heart to hand, I am allowed to let them go.
