Collecting seashells
Off the sands of time,
I race to Grandfather Clock.
Barter,
Burden,
Broken,
Bought.
My broken shells are gone.
The beach is empty.
I
Have
Nothing
But salt and canvas.
What new life
Can I create?
Enjoy an Excerpt
The raid is so excruciating. How do I describe a punch From space?
The asteroids never stopped Or so it felt. They mortified my atmosphere. A meteor left me hollow.
It had far too many clones, Born of selfishness. Dominance. Envy. Rage.
A being of vampiric touch, He robbed me Of my organs. Cut my walls And burnt my innards.
Take and take And Take! That is all A herd of meteors Can comprehend Or succeed at.
Dignity is as clouds, Having had their form stolen, And morphed to the sculpture, Only pain could love.
I must save myself. This galaxy Could murder me.

ReplyDeleteI am deeply saddened about the abuse you too went through :-) blessings to YOU that you have been able to walk thru it and beyond it. Strength, we all have it in our depths no wound will cover our Strength & Courage. It may stun it for a bit But our inner Strength & Courage will battle it's way out when we are able to ~shake ~ ourselves ~ away from the situation. Break FREE. Then we can let the Sails of Courage and Strength up and soak up Life. Blessings and support to YOU🎶💐 gkathgoldin#yahoo.com
