Clouded Clarity

 

Dust can swirl,

Fog can blanket,

Night can fall…

For now I see

With the clarity

Of a heart mended

With crystal silicone.

 

Cracks still visible,

Penetration impossible,

Expansion inevitable;

 

The more it breaks

The fonder the heart becomes…

Finding more reasons

Than ever

To open the window to the soul

So the world can see,

Failure is not an option

Rather an inspiration

To fly higher

Then the cloud I fell from.

This is so beautiful, so inspirational. Just what I needed, actually.

I guess we learn by our mistakes and this is what you're saying so beautifully: 'Failure is not an option ~ Rather an inspiration' .

Your work always makes me think, Dale .. this is no exception

the image caught my attention
the words put together
made me see a fallen angel
living in the human experience
to love and hurt
raise back to the clouds
come back
you fell down
while the angels bring you back up on the ground
love again....

beautifully said - i enjoyed the encouragement.

thank u.

The last lines were very well said. Indeed, failure could be a bridge that gets one to the other side. Inspirational! Keep writing.

Ah, that good ol' Cloud 9? Yeah, been there done that!
'inspiration' is always a good thing; failure has its reward.
