Clearly

I have carried it a bit too far
and placed halos on those
that could never deserve them
I thought there was something
so good in jars that didn’t open
with the tops stuck on tight
adding warmth to move them
even traced my fingers closely
around the lids to release the hold
finding all that was really there
was just what I had seen before
nothing, just beautiful empty glass



"i need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me"  TRAIN

Such a beautiful but poignant write Helen,
and so very well done. Hugs.

A delicate and wistful write...but as you have so eloquently written, there remains a measure of beauty even in an empty glass.
