Why, Why, Why


 

Why, Why, Why

The spirit of justification

pierces deep as unseen daggers

bleed wounds in-visibly.

 

Cut spirits slow leak

bruised by broken trust

betrayal’s breached

wounding generously.

 

Harboured within each

an inner spirit’s realm.

Purposefully pressuring

the soul to seek

restoration or ache docked.

 

No preference given

bodily or soulful breaks.

Arm, leg, heart or thoughts

a cast must be sought. 

 

Taking the load off

creating a straight path

for what was lame

pulled out of joint.

 

Healing restoratively

casting powerful hope

immense inward love

re-creates trailing desires

live,give,forgive measurably.

 

I too, raised my fist high.

Seeking to understand

the Why, Why, Why.

Only to find out…

 it had little to do

with …… me.

 

Drawing me closer

to shedding trials.

A fire of understanding

blazed bright.

 

Calling out ….

Many a soul does walk

upon broken limbs of body and heart.

Each is given their time to humbly listen

or limp unforgiving unable to thrive.

 

Against all self- feeling, righteousness or blame. 

I sought out to allow discipline’s cast

to straighten, heal, and restore

unseen wounds present in life.

 

Step by step, one day at a time

Learn-ed patience, joy and renewed hope.

No crutches of self-medications doses

No need for sweet liquors soothing relief.

 

See you on the road,

And if you see me limp;

Kindly remember

I am actively…..restoring.

 

 

Outpouring a purpose,

higher then.......me.

No longer serving energies 

Why, Why, Why.

    This was an outpouring of words. I have read this twice, and what really comes over in this piece is the EMOTION and POWER. I think that the images say it all too, as described by the words within this piece. It is like self-mutilation. Going through the pain, through wounds caused by broken trust and betrayel.

    The suffering within this piece is palpable as the reader is taken on a journey of 'self-discovery' and 'self-worth'. To, eventually emerge with the writer, watching her actively restoring the wounds that had been inflicted before, on mind and body. 'See you on the road. And if you see me limp, I am actively... restoring. You have stepped out of the box with this piece.

    Well done Kathleen

    With

    Restoration is something that has been sorely
    mutilated in this modern world. Appearances reign
    as everything while our inner being limps along
    questioning the roads taken. Still the wise seek,
    beyond the form and physical...still, aware
    children speak, denying the pill in favor of
    divine power. YOu brave a powerful subject here
    and present it with focus and fervor. I would
    gloss over it and add a few more commas just to
    strengthen the pauses so the message is donoted
    more attention at each stanza. Blue

    Such an excellent poem! The picture goes with it perfectly also! Such a deep thought provoking poem that must be read a few times to be truly appreciated I think.
