Hearts Unfold

Faith. Hope. Love.

Tightrope.

One foot, trembling
then the other. CAREFUL.
Don’t fall.
It’s windy today. Hold on.
Nothing to hold. Grasping.
Just stop. Close your eyes.
NO open!
THEY are shaking the rope.
Violently. Nasty lies SHATTER
fragile minds. Trapped.
alone.
They shake, chanting, chanting…
Fall.  Fall. FALL!
Chilling laughter. Full of SHAME.
Too much pain.
Like eggshells crack
Soft, EMPTY inside- Nothing left.
Mighty force of WORDS, like spears, piercing.
BLOOD gushing. Wounds.
Scars. Forever remember.
Fall. Fall. FALL!
Ssshh.
Too many voices. Loud.
Angry, quiet, deceptive.
It’s true. I know.
No good. YUCK. Stupid.
Lost. Hopeless. Trapped.
Nothing to hold. GRASPING.
Gasping.
HIT me, brother.
Take me away.
Out of this mind. RELEASE. High.
Can’t look down.
Paper faces BURN.
Crash. Blackness swallows.
Shadows, over-towering.
SINKing. Shrinking.
Stinking nobody.
Nothing. Nobody. Nothing!
DESPAIR.
White flag waving.
Whispering voice.
“I love you”
The Word is LOVE,
Truth. No more lies.
Falling tears. Precious.
Child, lifted HIGH.
Ignited. Alive. Inspired.
Worthy. Wonderful. Washed clean.
Redeemed.
Believe.
and finally, PEACE.
