I need an intervention.
I need surgery.
There is something wrong, water cascades down my cheeks
at the slightest thought.
Today it was a rainbow, a small, tucked
between two sets of clouds, sweet spectrum of delight.
Where I stood my little finger was bigger as I held it up to measure. It was there.
Today it wasn't just the rainbow.
It was many things that I cannot write about.
It was memories.
It was present.
It was future imperfect.
Mother hen frustration as a fox slaughtered chicks.
I need surgery to remove the dampness from my cheeks, my neck, salt stained my t-shirt.
My eyes feel ever so puffed, distorted by this reviled, ridiculous inability to stop the waterfall.
I need a divine intervention, transcendent surgery of a broken heart.
I could do with some verbal articulation too but…
One thing at a time
"Oh! that the power of God would set my heart and pen at liberty while writing, and fill your hearts while reading, that we may rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory." (John Newton)
It is all about words. Your words are enough to shatter someone's heart. Your words are enough to make a broken heart unbroken. Words have the power to change your life perspectives.
