Rock And A Hard Place

I have collected my seeds, to become some Frankenstein of heart, of such. Fixed pieces. Forced places. Puzzle of parts. Left from the floor of some remnant room where mangled pieces get chewed up by the lonely. Discarded to forget. Strewn around under foot. Stepped on and smeared. Things are never lost; they are just out of place. Trying to find a place of their own. Where they fit and belong. Windflowers blow upon rock refusing to grow, till blown away again to warmth and water. They refuse to die no matter how hard you try to kill them. And I. I have found my soil. It is between a rock and a hard place.


I’m not disappointed,  I never expected anything from you.

"Wildflowers blown upon rock, refusing to grow"

WOW!! Nicely done, Helen!! I see you have been dipping your quill in the prose well. I am delighted to see that it turns out just as good as your other work!!

Hey dog, did you see the size of that chicken!?

1slick_lady, great write.  I thought I was the only one that had a place like that.  I think most of my life has been lived there.  Now I know I have company.  ME

Helen,
So you are closer by than I thought! Excellent write.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
