and I gave,
and I gave,
from my heart,
so willingly,
for so long.
But when the pieces of life
started crumbling,
and I needed something back,
there was no one to be found.
Left alone
with the pile
of broken pieces,
having no idea
if they would ever
fuse together to become one again,
I felt lost,
forlorn,
confused.
Unsure of how to go on,
or even why to go on.
Until one day,
one piece joined another,
as I smiled again.
While only briefly,
it was a hint
of a new beginning,
a glimmer of hope.
I held my breath,
hoping for more,
waiting for more,
longing for more.
The days rolled on,
more pieces
began to adhere to one another,
sometimes barely noticeable,
sometimes profound.
Then a pause,
some quiet reflection,
questioning,
wondering,
if this was as whole
as life would ever become again
or if I could dare to hope for more.
Each pause
eventually gave way to something new,
no matter how small,
as more pieces came together.
Each piece
brought a little more comfort,
direction,
resolve,
and even strength,
until the pieces were no longer to be seen.
They had formed a whole,
and their healing
ushered into my heart
peace,
joy,
and hope.
