Unstrung Pearls Our days of love and laughter like pearls upon a string each perfect in its own way Every shared memory was a jewel all its own Taken separately— they are beautiful When strung together— they are exquisite I wore them with pride, my perfect pearls A woman never looks as lovely as she does when wearing them And then it happened— Truth like a rabid dog tore my heart from my throat breaking the treasured strand I watched helplessly as the cherished memories crashed to the floor at my feet Now I’m left holding this empty string surrounded by unstrung pearls |

Tara~ Sometimes a sad heart writes such lovely poetry. There will come a new jeweler to artfully restring the pearls of your heart. This is a gem, Tara. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Thank you all so much for the comments. I'm just glad you guys aren't sick of reading this stuff. I'm afraid there's more to come. Take me as I am or watch me as I go |
