Teach Me How

Teach me how to walk again
With these broken legs I'm on
Teach me how to sing again
To words that have no song
Teach me how to play again
Like children in the sun
Teach me how to dream again
After shooting my last one
Teach me how to dance again
Like butterflies in Spring
Teach me how to fly again
With this severed wing
Teach me how to care again
With this blackened heart I own
Teach me how to smile again
Amongst these seeds I've sown
Teach me how to love again
As hate penetrates my core
Teach me how to live again
When I care to live no more.

This is a very powerful write and it holds beauty and hope, as you ask for help, while desire to sing and to dance and to live is very strong.
Deeply felt like a prayer.
Love, Margherita

JJ,

This is very heartfelt. Consider, there is much to be learned and all of these lessons will be a joy to discover. For some the journey is harder but, then the fruits are sweeter.

I enjoyed this tender poem, it touched me.
