Over at Maureen's blog, Writing without Paper, her Saturday Sharings, (My Finds are Yours) includes a link to a beautiful and provocative animated short by Freek van Haagen called Broken. As I watched, the images of the words to the poem below flit through my mind.
And so.... I let the muse write it out....
FRAGMENTS
Broken
by a number
of things
indivisible courage
held fast
the one thing
he hadn't lost
faith in
God help me
he cried falling
fragments of hope
splintering on the cross
over to the other
side where eternal
grace opened her arms.

Isn't van Haagen something?! Thank you for mentioning the post.
You poem is lovely.
We're in an incredible oppressive heat wave. I'm staying in, anything that needs doing that requires going outside won't be done. I'd rather write and read anyway.
Have a splendid weekend.
love this....your words
string together bits of my heart
like a paperdoll chain
and spread wide
so that I can see the beauty
and hope flutters
...thank you:)

Like falling through glass, shattering. Beautiful, Louise.
Yes to all of the above ... !
That’s story of passion and death?
Maybe a resurrection then would have made it complete I feel :D
