she hides her heart
won’t hang it anywhere near her sleeve
buttons all emotion
keeps her cards close to her chest
she would love to love
but has sentenced herself to
solitary confinement
in the straight jacket her
wounds have sewn
only a big love can unbuckle
the way she clasps herself
will you be
the one?
I am thinking ‘scar tissue’ for the fabric 🙂
Wow – just right…
I think the way you look at nature has somehow affected me .. this morning I saw a few things on my walk and was wondering what you would make of it … let me tell you, your posts have me look a lot more closely into my Father’s world … for that I am grateful, sister 🙂
Isn’t God good? I take your words straight to my heart of hearts this morning, Heidi – thank you!
Mmmm, this is good, Mel.
Thank you!
my leg’s surgery looks like this description ! Wow!
Oh, oh! Are you healing okay?? Ouch….
Made me smile again! May she find that BIG love that unzips her mistrust and free her heart to love again. For some reason, WP won’t let me “Like” your posts. :-(!

Oh, oh. I’ve had that trouble from time to time, too… Allergies?? 😀 Thanks Russ.
Love the new look of your blog! To me, this looked like an out of place cauliflower. Amazing what you see.
I always think of cauliflower when I see them, too, Lorene! 🙂 Thank you…
The same is said
for men who bed
their feelings in the sand,
awaiting day
when love lost lays
beside to sift by hand;
the layers lift,
as sun shall shift
to set in sky above,
the time they share
their ev’ry care
but shadow of their love.

Beautiful… and true!
