A Mother Broken, a Friend Fragile 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Fighting to put the pieces back together again. Mike's Sad Poem challenge
You found yourself broken...falling
FALLING...
I found you in pieces...fallen
SHATTERED...
I stooped to pick you up...for
Like Humpty Dumpty you were in pieces
On the floor of your dying heart
We took you to the healing land of broken things
Where the Wizard agreed to mend you
Glue you back together again
He broke your chest into two bloody pieces
Stopped your heart, while an inanimate machine
Became your essence to echo the beat of life's rhythm...
Your heartbeat...
The kind Magician used his chants and potions
To put a Novel soul back together again
So now I must ask you...Dear One
Did you for a few moments die, your heart stilled
So the Wizard could resurrect you to your unbroken you
I distinctly heard him whisper a little spell for putting a broken bird back together again
A tender touch of magic for our shattered friend. A gentle incantation to mend a broken wing.
"Wings of sky, light as feather, Rejoin now and soar together. With healing warmth and stardust bright, Mend and restore her to flight tonight. In kindness, bound by nature's thread, From head to toe, be whole instead".
Remember to be gentle and show love and care as you recite this healing spell. 🕊️
I hope this brings comfort to the little broken bird.
Who needs time to find her strength
To fly again, soaring high into the sky
While angels sound the trumpet
That all is well again! 🕊️

The Challenge (Thanks Mike, I found this on the very last day. But it could not have been more timely for my state of mind). I found it by reading Sid's lovely sad poem. You are blessed.

I love the sense of magical healing in this.
This poem speaks volumes about the power of love and care.
"Who needs time to find her strength"—I love that. Sometimes, healing isn’t instant, but when it comes, it’s powerful. Beautiful piece!

Ah I see that you have managed to sneak Novel in hehehehehe. Loved your poem so much!
A sad beautiful prayer-wow
This is breathtaking—like a whispered prayer wrapped in poetry. It carries the weight of pain but also the lightness of renewal. That closing line? Pure magic. Soaring high again, while angels sound the trumpet—what a triumphant return to life and love. ✨
Great Poem - But you know what this inspires in me don't you. - A smile article!! Too many dark times in life, and when I read too many of these, it triggers a smile article. Well Done - But Incredibly sad. Smile article coming up.
