Collecting seashells



Off the sands of time,


I race to Grandfather Clock.



Barter,


Burden,


Broken,


Bought.


My broken shells are gone.


The beach is empty.



I


Have


Nothing


But salt and canvas.



What new life


Can I create?


Enjoy an Excerpt



A Meteor Left Me Hollow




The raid is so excruciating. How do I describe a punch From space?



The asteroids never stopped Or so it felt. They mortified my atmosphere. A meteor left me hollow.



It had far too many clones, Born of selfishness. Dominance. Envy. Rage.



A being of vampiric touch, He robbed me Of my organs. Cut my walls And burnt my innards.



Take and take And Take! That is all A herd of meteors Can comprehend Or succeed at.



Dignity is as clouds, Having had their form stolen, And morphed to the sculpture, Only pain could love.



I must save myself. This galaxy Could murder me.

  3. Beautiful words :-) so excited to have discovered this today. Love expanding my world of words and stories.

    I am deeply saddened about the abuse you too went through :-) blessings to YOU that you have been able to walk thru it and beyond it. Strength, we all have it in our depths no wound will cover our Strength & Courage. It may stun it for a bit But our inner Strength & Courage will battle it's way out when we are able to ~shake ~ ourselves ~ away from the situation. Break FREE. Then we can let the Sails of Courage and Strength up and soak up Life. Blessings and support to YOU🎶💐 gkathgoldin#yahoo.com
