Something Different

Here's a poem I wrote the other day.

Healer

I hurt so much
And fear so deeply
That I am all undone

When she arrives in pain
At the very least
Do not harm her further

When she brings the shattered pieces of her life
In her hands
Do not jostle her
Or squeeze her hands so tightly
That you cut them
As the jagged pieces
Dig into her flesh

Choose differently

Ask her to place the pieces
On the table between you
And seek to discover
The source of her pain
And the healing that need be done and
Create
The place where healing can occur

Allow the science to work its magic
As you pour yourself over the broken pieces
Causing peace and love
To flow over the shards
Of her cup
And allow them to mend
So she might fill her cup
Once again
