sometimes being a part

of you

means, leaving the bigger part of me 

 

and other times

being

a

part

of me

means keeping

the smallest piece of you

 

and these pieces mean so much

and they mean so little

but, all together

they fill my heart

between its empty parts

like the water poured into the jar full of stones

 

each piece

different from the other

but a place in my heart they have burrowed

 

and even if they travel

from head to toe

they always end up 

on the aorta at 6pm

when they need rest or a break from the deep dark soul

which is never the destination.....but sometimes where destined

 

my hands about to throw themselves up

over my head

as i approach the high point of the wheel

wherein i can see all 

laid out before me

wherein i can marvel in the beauteous nature

of all the morsels in treasures

that i have gathered 

so far.....

 

so, little pieces

and big

attune yourself to my song

harmonize me on the wings of maybe

your color is not quantified by the stake of your claim

you still shine just as bright 

when held up in front of the light 

 

i have sratched our names into the tree

and carry the forget-me-not flower in my lapel

and bid a grateful, gracious farewell

to the lovers that loved me

back to life

when i couldn't ask

and 

when

i didn't need to 

 

my voice trembles an 'i love you' forevermore

whilst my saddle shines in the traveling sun
