Art by Regina
The Wednesday Muse #7
Years of misuse tossed here and there
bumps and bruises appear
A tear of the heart creates a chain reaction
Courage failing desire spent
peeking through a space that wasn’t here before
searching for a glimpse of what once was
Piecing together shards of spirit
thoughts and ideas
to regain a semblance of wholeness
Restoration of faith and strength
returned by the voice of self-preservation
that forges the heart
