Shatter and Grow

Rated: E · Poetry · Emotional · #882446

A piece about pain and its importance in moving our life along.

Wistful sigh caressing the throat
With origin in soul denotes
The pain of one claiming numbness...
The desire of one claiming futility...

One spirit downward and inward
Pirouetting...
By chance lightly brushing against...
Ethereal beauty?
Hideous misery?

Bring to bloom...
Life through gloom and desperation brought
to the point of shattering the exterior...

Liquid sadness flowing from the soul...
Thus joy and growth are rebirthed in grief's
release.
