The artifact you held on to your heart
shatters in a million tiny pieces,
You stand there and wonder
How to bring it together
Where do you start?
Which corner you begin picking with?
Which direction you go?
Which piece to preserve?
and what to let go!
Amidst all this uncertainty
You are blatantly aware
It won’t be the same marvel again
As it used to be once,
The strength the grace
It won’t anymore exhibit,
May be the pieces will
Make a mosaic of its own,
But won’t be quite the same!
No matter how broken it looks
Even after piecing up,
Remember it was once yours-
A thing of joy, and peace,
Hold on to it,
Face it eye to eye with head held high
with strength in your heart and
a prayer on your lips!
That’s what it’s all about...Hope amidst pieces.
