Sometimes the sky splits wide open
and lets the rain come pouring down
Sometimes you hang on tight to hoping
in the middle of a break-down
*
Like words twirling in a vacuum
swirling like pebbles, all around
Searching for the right voice to come
and write the magical meaning down
*
Just the right fluctuation, emotions caught hidden, in sound
An astronaut stuck out in orbit, with no sight, of holy ground
These are the things I can only wonder at, watching beauty, as it's found
Embracing life's abundant reflection, so profound
*
I am an orphan, grown and raised
Now here alone to face the day
What once was known, is washed away
Where saints and angels go to play
*
And still, I know, all that I need
To stop my heart now, as it bleeds
Hope transforming now to peace
Healing the parts of you, in me

More likely to be forgotten than fully healed, & not so likely that. The scars remain, even untended.
Whoaaa, this was splendid! Loved it so much!
Another very touching piece. Well done, Kelli!
What a way to describe any relationship.
💙
Very heartfelt.
The final stanza is a beautiful and hopeful message of healing. It suggests that even in our darkest moments, we can find hope and resilience.
