Sometimes she’s afraid that one day she’ll wake up and her fractures will break her; dreams of integration, wholeness, elude and taunt her daymares. Only one Artist could find all her pieces and lovingly fuse them together along lines of love, mending the mosaic; dare she hope for dazzling?

Sometimes she’s afraid

that one day she’ll wake up

and her fractures

will break her;

dreams of integration,

wholeness,

elude and taunt her daymares.

Only one Artist

could find all her pieces

and lovingly fuse them together

along lines of love,

mending the mosaic;

dare she hope for dazzling?

        Sometimes it’s the smallest glimmer, wavering in the dark–But It Lives!

        I can see why hope is so integral to living, can’t you?
