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.
