נ*
lost and drifting
devoid of pretense
nothing left of my life
but myself.
echoes of my former self
lose themselves
against empty whispers
which now fill my path.
ש**
solace pours in
through sunlight found
deep in the forest.
air filters into
broken lungs;
healing
a shattered heart.
ה***
stumbling forward I cling
to hope of
happiness
love
joy.
half my heart heals
the other half
still lies shattered.
ג****
i stand
barely upright
breathing shallow breaths
as i spin toward
the unknown.
i am broken.
but still i spin
even if out of control
for a few moments.
forging forward into
an unknown world.
it is here
i pray for a miracle.
a miracle of me.
