How

September 20, 2013 — broken, healing the mind, mend, mending the heart, Muse, repair, unbroken

~

How does it become unbroken?

 Glue holds pieces as one;

the tea cup from then can be filled.

~

How does it become unbroken?

Leaves intertwine to bind

the torn basket so as again to carry fruit.

~

How does it become unbroken?

Nails to wood planks strengthen

the worn fencing to mark the fields.

~

How does it become unbroken?

The splint and the sutures repair

the body to again feel it with vitality move.

~

It seems simple. It looks effortless.

Fingers, pieces, binding leaves and nails.

It seems simple. It looks effortless.

~

Hands though cannot use these leaves,

cannot use these nails,

cannot make use of sutures

to mend what is broken

~

within the mind

nor within the heart.

~

What then to move the mind to healthy thought?

What then to find the heart’s pulse?

~

Unearth that which brings a fervor and quenches the thirst.

Uncover passions, elicit yearnings from the heart towards pursuits not incumbent on other persons.

You alone.

Expose pursuits which steer the mind from useless repetition to hear the voices of muses.

~

Muses will whisper

of wisdom

of learning

of expanding thoughts.

~

Muses will whisper

of tune

of composition

of the genesis of design.

~

Listen. Listen.

~

You are not unbroken. You are new.
