*~*~*~*~*~*
in pieces…
but whole enough to be held; to be loved
I have kept them safe
locked in the nexus of silent recognition
worn and frayed, they recoil in the sunlight
having habituated to the darkness
pulling them close, the overwhelming euphoria
of reminiscence spills into the air
flooding the expanse and
piercing thought
this is the usual moment when the book is closed
the box covered
the envelope sealed ….
But today … maybe, just maybe,
these pieces can be willed to remain
and never, never again
to be obscured by the mysterious natural progression
that emphatically refuses to halt

I love this! It reminds me that we see ourselves in the eyes of others. And we are so much more than we see.
The Segway THIS IS THE USUAL MOMENT WHEN THE BOOK IS CLOSED, THE BOX COVERED, THE ENVELOPE SEALED.. takes us so cleverly to the finale and we are left with abiding hope that the pieces remain!
Very enjoyable!

How I/'/ve missed your poetry, Breezy! And now that I/'/ve returned I/'/m blessed and humbled with such wonderful, graceful, thought-provoking poetry that is your trademark, and yours alone. I may have said this at sometime in the past, but you must seriously consider sharing your talents with a wider audience. Yourpoetrydotcom is privileged to have you, but the world is waiting ............

| This brings to mind a story I once read about a man who took a journey and lost a piece of himself with each experience along the way. He was a ghost of himself by the end, but he turned around and as he re-experienced each memory he collected his pieces back. Coming back here to YPDC is like that. Thank you for sharing a lost piece with me and I hope I can return the favor. Beautifully written. |

You are truly a generous person.
The reason why?
Well, you have a gift and you are sharing it with the world, how could we ask for more?

This, this!!!! This is like waiting in anticipation for that new album to come out by a favorite band or show to come on and not being disappointed.
"But today … maybe, just maybe,
these pieces can be willed to remain"
No /*****/, baby!!!! This is the stuff that inspires me.
Thank you for this artwork gem!!

You have perfectly described each individual person.
Seeing how each facet that makes-up our individuality
however different they are, familiarity and similarities
abound. Brilliantly written as always my friend. I,
like so many others, have missed your writing.

*Beams* !! :) !!
Oh you know that introduction makes me wish I could reach out and hug you. For now I’ll have to settle for a ‘welcome back’. As I read the “pieces” had me thinking of snatches of paper with some words here, some lines there ... balled up, abandoned for another day, another year ... broken fragments of thought and experience breaking free in increments. It is funny we can’t seem to be silenced forever. The muse will not be shushed, and those pieces fall into place eventually. High five!! Welcome back
