Second Chances
Cast from love's warmth but perhaps in reforging, hope?

Second Chances


Torn from love's warm flesh.
Thrown upon the floor
Of carelessness.
Held up before injured,
Untrusting eyes.
A million diamond memories.

Dreams in emerald;
Tears of ruby and sapphire
Embedded in broken trust.
Disappointments gleam dully
From mirrored facets.
Reflection inside reflection,
Pain inside fear.

Discarded jewels of
Yesterday reforged, redeemed.
Tarnished band of betrayal
Melts into golden hope.
Tempered in soft words,
Lilting, rainbow laughter
Sparkles in gilt claws
Of perfectly wrought kindness.

Newly beheld,
Beauty renewed.
Similar but unique.
Precious. Beauty quietly
Awaiting courage
To place it upon
Love's second chance.
