The Seams Of A Broken Heart

THE SEAMS OF A BROKEN HEART

In walking
the empty streets of
forgivness
and mercy,
the way is not always smooth…
yet always worth it.

My Path

MY PATH

The heart heals
as
the stages pass.

 A VIEW OF A FRIEND
(a shadorma)

Day of rest.
A time for healing.
My good friend
is the best.
On her couch, I sprawled all day,
THANKS! is what I say!

Time Heals

 
TIME HEALS
(a shadorma)

I first tried
Bandaids and fixes
of all kinds,
pain remained.
Months passed, seasons changed; my wounds
are now but faint scars.

Getting A Grip

 
GETTING A GRIP
(a shadorma)

My two hands
have both held and lost.
I know pain;
paid the cost.
Tentative fingers now wrap
around love again.
