One duck in a row

"Rather late than never"

I slowly loosened

The few wooden pegs

Keeping my heart

Attached to my sleeve

And carefully put it back

Inside of me.

every word needed and not one more needs to be added .. minimalism to the "T" and just my cup of tea!! ;) so descriptive of a huge healing step .. so very raw as we carry that old heart out of its protection .. such relief that it is put back ... wow! nicely done!

Indeed, relief, but the heart does not always do what we want it to, hey? Thanks your spot-on observations.....:)

no ... it doesn't ... i am a firm believer in thoughts come first then feelings .. we loose track of that when feelings seem to crop up from the mysterious place ... and the head gets left behind :(

Aaahhhh......though it could be the other way around too.....the mind with all its rational thinking and takes so much control, that the heart is left behind.....carrying the can full of emotions it is no more "allowed" to feel.......I think there is a poem in there somewhere.....:)

We have to start somewhere when our hearts have been damaged. All to often those of us who wear our heart's on our sleeves get them bruised. You have created a beautiful and somewhat sad image of having to hide the heart. Great write!
