Despair Not<\/p>\n

Clad in armor he was
\nan aspiring hero-to-be
\nvictorious armor of protection
\nagainst brutal forces that
\nturned out to be
\nNo match against the
\nfragile delicate thing … baring the soul, naked and vulnerable
\nBroken, she says, I am broken.
\nWearing a smile, throbbing pain override
\nwith not even a grimace,
\nwicked to see a smile of a person lying on a bed of
\nthorns… as if.
\nsticking needles and brewing herbal tea can remedy
\nwhat’s broken…
\nlike cocktails of elixir
\nshe claims is the cure.
\nfor the broken, there’s
\nfaith hope a little witchcraft<\/p>\n

if a yogi should levitate through air and hop into side crow,
\nthe broken buried her head deeper under a turtle shell
\nmelting softly onto the
\nearth as if to pose as a puddle on the earth surface,
\none with the molten volcanic earth center…surrendering
\nquiet and soft – quiet as in quiet before a storm or …
\ncleansed and purified like that moment
\nthat stillness after that storm when
\nall were flooded washed away and gone,
\nstorm has passed leaving
\n vast emptiness
\nit’s a quiet death we do not fear as
\n… life is detected with each inhale
\nher turtle shell rose; each exhale her turtle shell sank closer to earth, hovering over the bed of flowers
\nin full bloom … from nowhere comes
\na curled tail
\nlicks away the streams of oozing blood
\nstreams of salt water dried over glistening eyes
\nlike the moon reflected on a pond where the thousand petaled lotus blossoms
\ncuts and scars no longer raw but a tattoo, an artful design etched …in somatic memory
\nstabs turns to scabs and once again, smooth skin reclaimed
\nblue-black marsh lands of bruises and rock crevices in peach-grey scars fading and fading into
\noblivion<\/p>\n

Broken once or twice maybe three times
\neach time fused together – stronger
\nso despair not.
\nStrength & flexibility returns with ease over time
\nfor time … heals all.
\nBroken fused things infused with light
\nreflect light differently – beautifully – despair not.
\nBeautiful Broken Things.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
