+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
I once was a shining whole
But I shattered into fractions,
~ Full of disappointments
And life's dissatisfactions.

At times the ledgers balanced,
Then at others they did not.
Some brimmed with happiness,
And others rife with fraught.

Whenever I thought in negatives,
Things grew from bad to worse.
~ Until I thought in positives,
And discarded the perverse.

I've long since integrated,
Myself back to a whole.
I look at all the good in life
~ Adding Light to my soul!

you are lovely....this is just beautiful!
hugsss you

I don’t want the world to see me
cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am

  Earth Angel, this is just wonderful.  Made me remember how I used to get myself out of what I called the "blue funk."  I would get so cynical that it became totally ridiculous....which led to making fun of myself....and laughing.  Somehow, laughter seemed to pull all my pieces back together again.  Smiling happily to read your whole poem.....KBHBLY....lily jo

Nancy ~

I aim to please! lol In actuality, I please myself when I write on a "positive" note! ~ It can lift my spirits as well if I happen to slip into the doldrums!

~ May all your days have a positive spin and lift your spirits high!

The process of reintegration can be a difficult one, but once you become "whole" again, you have the strength to handle what may be thrown your way in life! ~ It has for me!

Cathy, may you ~ and yours bones! ~ be integrated and whole!

Love & Light,
Linda

The trick is to get those scattering little rebellions to come back into the family fold! lol

Be strong! Be whole! ~ Be YOU!
