Splintered

When the place you've once
called sanctuary

Falls into great
disrepair,

When the place you've once
considered a haven

Splinters and fails
from broken promises,

All that you can do
is mourn,

So you grieve for
the peace once shared,

Peace that will never again
emerge from that space,

Then after you've grieved,
after all the tears are shed,

You take a deep breath,
pull yourself together,

And continue on your
journey once again.

Comfort

You are
never too far
from my soul, holding me
close when I desperately need
comfort.

Heat Wave

The slow,
sweltering heat
has overtaken the
concrete jungle, as everyone
suffers.

Disbelief

Screaming,

shouting, feelings

of shock and awe upon

realizing that he still does not

get it.

Clouded

Some days

the feelings cloud

my head like a harsh storm,

and I wonder when the sorrow

will end.

Fractured Ties

As I
attempt to fix
fractured ties, I keep in
mind that there are hidden layers
to mend.

Adventure

As we

turn the pages

of our life stories, a

litany of adventures are

written.

World of Dreams

The song of sleep
beckons us into

The world of dreams,
and our wishes come

To life...secret desires,
silenced by uncertainty,

Are spoken without fear...
locations once visited

Years past now stand
before us, symbolic

Pieces of a puzzle
we yearn to solve

In our waking lives...
the world of dreams

Invite us to explore
our journeys thus far,

So we may travel
through our days

More aware, without
reservation.

Humidity

The air hangs hot and

sticky on our skin, clinging

onto our bodies.

One Year Later

One year
later I am
aware of my life as
a free woman, moving forward,
fearless.
