“Broken Blessings”

by A_F_R_O_W

Hearts break,

without restraint.

Before they know

what has occurred,

over-active cortisol

runs riot,

through the Body,

to spread out

the word.

Stress,

has popped

its ugly head,

around the door

and doesn’t want

to leave,

until you feel

depressed.

Until,

your Soul

cries out

for help,

which does not,

quickly, come,

from rationality…

The warning resounds.

Emotions,

race around,

like

playground tearaways

and Peace,

is not apparent.

You can’t fight.

You cannot flee.

The only ship,

transporting

Joy and Love and Light,

has run aground.

Contentment,

is nowhere in sight.

The horizon, seems bleak.

Yet, 

the, waning, Heart,

still speaks.

Whether, it be

in a whisper,

its faint beat,

yet, resonates.

Somehow, surviving,

if not,

quite, thriving..

no matter what

it takes.

But,

this might

just be

the end

of every mystery,

of hurt.

Maybe pain,

can be a platform.

The start of a

Spiritual growth-spurt.

Maybe,

you have not

been broken into..

rather,

out,

of a tightened shell,

which had need,

to yield,

to Grace,

submit, to Generosity…

Which, had no choice,

but, to give in..

making those 

walls of prison, 

swell…

…’Til it was they,

that came away…

…and fell apart.

So that,

the pieces were,

in actual fact,

the battered barriers,

to Loving,

deeper,

braver,

bolder…

And the reason?

That you’ve entered

a New Season,

with an,

even stronger,

Heart.
