Perfected Pirouette

It is absolutely necessary to walk through the showers of sorrow, to make friends with your angst, to stand still and listen to your confusion and to embrace your grief.... in order to receive their gifts of peace

I don’t quite understand
how something so innately divisive and destructive
can turn with a perfect spin
to display the face of peace and unity.

How can something so parched and painful,
so putrid and parochial;
something narrow and limiting

capable of producing only sorrow;.
How can it turn around and show
 the supple side of soft and real?
Having eclipsed an honorable pain

and metamorphosed into fluid, forgiving and free.
as if raw grief by its very embracing had
reduced a broken heart to love,

and found its wings..

Something innately divisive and destructive
spins like a child’s perfected pirouette
settling on our heart
with the renewal of spring.

This is an immaculate verse ....

I look for writes such as this ...yet rarely find one

one that could be a subjective as not ...wisdom in its perspective
and grace in its structure

"Having eclipsed an honorable pain
and metamorphosed into fluid, forgiving and free.
as if raw grief by its very embracing had
reduced a broken heart to love,

and found its wings.. "


" Blessed are those who mourn....they SHALL be comforted " ~Matthew 5:4
We have to let our tears clear our perspective and wash away the pain
tears..are.both healing...and clearing
