Bits and Pieces

by Colleen Barry
Completed ?

The stars hold stories of new and old

And reveal the tales of times untold.

Unlock the past and record the present,

Release your heart, be not hesitant.

 

Immersed in splendor

And you’ve got me hooked.

Giving into heart’s desire…

Wallowing in this horrid mire.

The beginning of the endless cycle

Retracing my steps of the time before,

Skipping the mistakes made out as holes

In the floor.

 

Breathing in your excess

Reaching out to stroke your heart

Look my way now…

It’s a start.

Empathy for living creatures

Following a story told in your features.

Clichés of reading faces like books.

 

Behind the never-ending salvo

That tears at God’s creation,

Beauty lies in love and care,

Unfolded in imagination.

Underneath the foul and hardships,

Past icy sinews that never cease to blow…

Glory and light reveal themselves.

Bits and Pieces is actually a compilation of 4 short poems that were never completed to form their own piece.
