Planes and Automobiles

Walls.  Watching from the outside and waiting.  So much of life moving and going.  So many stories passing along, finite lines of infinite possibilities.  Still, I'm just small and here.  Missing.  Hoping.  Loving.  Waiting for part of my heart to return.

Broken Pieces

“All your wounds from craving love
Exist because of heroic deeds.” - Hāfez

I lay out
Pieces strewn askew,
Jagged edges
Of life.

A certain skill,
Shattering:
All has come undone.
Old become new.

The art
Of picking up
Those pieces 
On the ground -

Healing.
All is re-aligned
Along these
Jagged edges of life.

Do not cry
Burning tears,
Begging me
To forgive -

In so wishing
These pieces 
Might be
Washed clean.

Forgiveness,
Not Forgetfulness,
Is the stuff
Life is made of.

Struggle

I walk.
Climb.
Battle.
Up a steady incline.
Breathless from the beauty.
Wordless.
But for questions.
Vibrance.
Majestic.
I watch as the birds soar.
Up an ever-growing spiral of wind.
I wait.
Pause.
Beauty.
