day moon-
on the way to
a dream…
day moon-
on the way to
a dream
Puzzle unWrapping
puzzling. this life. all i need to do. is be. be in it. breathe. each piece. each breath. falls into place. snowflakes. in a Spring storm. one after another. each piece falls. into place. effortlessly. i feel. another breath. fall. into place. and the snowstorm. becomes. first Spring rain.
unwrapping
the snowstorm falls
into Spring rain
in the mazes
of the mind-
a thought
buried beneath
a pile of cliché
the missing puzzle piece
routines, swinging
keep her
together
missing pieces
of the puzzle-
what could have been
completed jigsaw puzzle . . .
if only the lost fragments
of herself
felt the same
before the chemo
Authors ignore eyes.
Say more with sun,
with dust, with hats.
I do not look at eyes.
My pieces fit.
Mom stares
at my eyes.
Rude. My self is mine.
letting go …
the pieces that don’t
belong
missing pieces-
the long journey
into myself
old friends
sit at a table
and put puzzles
together
they sort and place
what they can
leave the rest to God
So beautiful Ellen!!!
Dear Symanntha, Thank you
A ribbon reminder
of a lost love
as he struggles to piece together
the puzzle of his heart
with one less
Aw!
❀ Thank you ❀
now that you’re gone
I find pieces of memories
that I’ve forgotten
like the words of a song
finally complete
a piece of the puzzle
that doesn’t want to fit
little boy special needs
So much empathy in this poem, and special gifts too, I’m sure.
Reblogged this on Failing at Haiku and commented:
a piece of the puzzle
that doesn’t want to fit
little boy special needs
undiagnosed pieces lost from their puzzle
