Healing…

Source: We Heart It

With eyes wide open

My heart has healed

 

Yet…

 

I am far from

ready to try again

 

Memories are still

to recent and raw

 

But…

 

When the time is

right I will know

 

And…

 

Move forward…

Time…

Source: We Heart It

Time…

Ebbs and flows 

like ocean tides

 

Never measured the

same…

minute to minute…

second to second…

 

There is a loneliness 

Listening…

Watching…

as waves wash ashore

like a water metronome

 

Waves keeping time

the beat of my heart

the tune of my life

without words

 

Living on the margins 

as the Universe 

continues to measure

my life…

my Time…

The Lamp

Source: We Heart It

Meant to hold

darkness at bay

 

The lamp…

stood for so

much more

 

A symbol of 

prosperity…

wealth…

 

Something almost

idolized…

worshiped…

 

Yet…

 

Held only the

true meaning for 

those with a

pure and open

Heart…

Change…

Source: Unknown

Just as the seasons

change so do our hearts

They can close down

to everything…

to everyone…

hardened like steel

refusing to break

 

But…

 

Just when it seems

all hope is gone

 

And…

 

The heart will

never find peace again…

never feel love again…

never give love again…

 

The sun breaks through

leading the way to

 

A…

      New Beginning

Unified…

Source: We Heart It

Your scent still lingers

on the rose-colored pillow case

you detested…

On your tuxedo shirt and

felted Western hat

 

Breathing deeply…

The memories flood in

And…

I cry

 

Like Cohen wrote…

“… the heart is a rage

of directions…”*

there is no Mercy

 

I refuse to wash

that shirt or pillow case

The only pieces of you

that remain

 

I wear the hat when

the missing becomes 

too much

 

Your scent…

My raging heart

Unified…

*The follow line from Leonard Cohen’s poem #50 The Book of Mercy was my inspiration today.

 

” … the heart is a rage of directions, but your name unifies the heart …”

Your Heart

Source: We Heart It

You…

are one of the best

people I know

sincere…

kind…

concerned…

intelligent…

tender…

loving…

 

You have a gentle spirit

and a heart that reacts

to everything

good…

And

bad…

 

I feel that

Gentle Heart

in all aspects

of your life…

Not Broken

Source: We Heart It

My heart holds on —

Not wanting to

let the bad come in

 

While…

 

Closed tight to keep

the good from leaking out

 

Bruised…

Battered…

 

Yet…

 

Not Broken

The Freeze

Image: We Heart It

A weak sun

struggles to break

through the clouds

 

An icy grip

holds tight

unwilling to

let go

 

…hours pass

the temperature

rises and the

sun attempts to win

 

…the thaw begins

icy fingers gradually

release and crash

to the still

frozen ground

 

she waits…

he hesitates…

wanting to let go

wanting to begin

 

but…

the ice is

comforting

 

…her heart breaks
