pieces broken
by some other
shattered beyond
all recognition
lifeless fragments
waiting to be whole
never deserving the fear
never deserving the shame
never deserving the hollow places
found between the sharp edges
pieces bound now
by lead and will
laid upright and tall
placed between sun and shadow
to prism and be known
for it's perfection
for it's beauty
for it's truth
only one step back
to see it all
standing in the mosaic
of light, color, image and warmth
only one step back
to understand
all that it takes
to become whole
step back with me...
look up...
let the tears come...
and marvel
at the stained glass
window of your soul.

Do you understand haiku?
Do you ever get sidetracked when writing? I do. I think it must be in the nature of the creative mind to draw connections and have a need to explore them. Since the World Wide Web became established in the 1990s, this has become a lot easier to do. The phenomenon being described as ‘going down a wormhole.’ Sometimes a distraction, but I have written some of my best work when I have disappeared down one web wormhole or another. It also happened in the days when most of my research was book based so we can't blame it on the internet. Book research was just slower. These days, guided by my AI friend, it is much, much quicker.
