' But unlike a shattered heart .. A broken mirror cannot hold a memory..'

To hear your words tumble this tale is incredibly moving and real.. whether imagined or experienced hurt rarely fails to alert a being to move on further, higher. And yet, there's a fragile feeling running through your words, a weakness of spirit, a heart so near to death. But reading a third time, there's somehow a strength.. .. mayhaps you've felt the emotion of..

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Emma … I think just acceptance:)

Wonderful. I love the imagery of falling leaves in any context, but I especially like how flawlessly it melded with the breaking heart line - and that the relationship aspect didn't overwhelm the falling leaf word choice.
Thanks for sharing

I heard this first on your YouTube channel...
I am both steel and glass I my heart and your words pricked the blood with the memory of my won shards...
Powerful!
Sensitive!
Magical write!

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, David. I am fond of this one too:)

[David Scott]

Beyond fond for me Pryde. You made the blood flow within the wounds of my won memeories, but I a good way. If that makes any sense...? :)

[Pryde Foltz]

It's about the healing ... and it makes perfect sense when you've been where we have been.

[David Scott]

I think we understand each other on this matter... ;)
Thank you again for the experience of hearing you read this very fine poetry.

[Sunny]

Have to say I'm a little confused by this. And I'm not entirely sure why

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Sunny. It is a metaphoric piece and it is meant to draw on symbolic meaning and does ask the reader to think abstractly. But in short I liken a breaking heart to falling leaves which I then liken to falling shards of a broken mirror and then we come full circle and the mirror is like the memory of a broken heart. A circular think … but yes I can see how it might be confusing. lol.

[Sunny]

Lol well thanks for explaining it to me :-)

"Leaves fall and they thrilled me
Cutting cracks in the cold still air"
