Trying To Pick Up The Pieces  For Kevin, and others I hurt along the way ~ I'm just trying to pick up the pieces from where everything fell apart. It's going to take awhile because I didn't contain it at the start. You know I never meant to hurt you, never meant to break your heart. I am so tired and worn out now, I can't think of you and feel the pain I should have from losing you, not knowing when love lost appeal... when the winter of me came... when I turned to hard, cold steel. Most times, I know I love you, but old habits are hard to break, there are other broken things, I left so many in my wake. I'm just trying to pick up the pieces to see what I can make. ~ January 3, 2006 ~ |

A new mosaic, a work of art, coming humbly from your heart... a time, a new begin a thought, of where, and when, but this be true, it has begun... beginnings new, from day one. |

What you can make with those pieces holds much promise, for you can pick up the pieces that you want to keep and leave behind those you don't. Relating very much to these words! :-) |

Dixie, Can't even think of a response to post here, Dixie. I don't know the situation, but I have found that, sometimes, there is no avoidance. Here's to wishing all who have experienced pain some peace at heart. misc'e |

Phil, thank you...I am glad you see changes  Steven, thanks...that is really encouraging misc, thank you for letting me know you read even if you didn't know what to say. Situations come and go I suppose. This poem could pretty much fit into any one of them where the writer has hurt the ones she loves |

"old habits are hard to break, there are other broken things, I left so many in my wake. I'm just trying to pick up the pieces to see what I can make." That's a bumpy road to travel. Sometimes best done as a shadow. Enjoyed as I read, read, and reread... JL |

JL, Sue, Paul, vandana: thank you all your comments mean a lot to me Paul, sometimes it takes more than words to mend things, I found out the hard way. But writing this did help me though. |

Well, I stand corrected.I should have said these words will "help" mend. Hindsight I guess, but better late than never...paul shades of peace,love,and happiness to you |

Barry, Jo, JuJu: thank you each it's good to hear from you Paul, no need to stand corrected...every situation is different and I was just admitting to how badly I messed things up with mine. Please, always, feel free to say what you thought or felt about any poem of mine. I love it when a reply is honest and from the depth of a person. |

passing shadows, I believe that you have hit the bottom of your pain - and, if I am correct about that, the only way to go now, is up, up, up into the blue infinity of a bright beautiful and expectant future! - Owl |

I am left to say I read this one, and either consider the style and flow, or the content. When the rule of thumb in my book is not to take things to a personal level. Not to analyze the feelings or thoughts of the poet, or try and second guess what the poet was trying to say When in other ways comes the fine line between poetry and prose, or if there is a true difference at all. Or maybe it is best just to say nothing at all. a poet who cares |

"when the winter of me came..." Touching indeed passing shadows. I agree with Steve. Take what you need and leave the rest. |
