Heart Pieces
2008
precious pieces of the heart
filled with need and love
given as gifts without hesitation
into the embrace of a friend
filled with need and love
given as gifts without hesitation
into the embrace of a friend
with acceptance heart pieces bloom
as buds bending toward the light
so grows the heart in the care of a friend
like daisies in a field
secrets shared and stories told
held in trust and hope
impressions made on the heart of a friend
like kisses on the soul
when the friend light dims
and the embrace is lost
heart pieces fade and go cold
like memories behind glass
battered pieces of the heart
gathered and mended back to whole
to be given as gifts - time and again
into the embrace of a friend
gathered and mended back to whole
to be given as gifts - time and again
into the embrace of a friend

This is beautiful, Cynthia. Those pieces, tied up with a pretty ribbon will be given again and again. I loved your poem.
Your writing is beautiful Cynthia. Such truth.

Thanks to Ardi and Darla. This one flowed from the pen.... I love it when that happens.
