Believe

With pieces shattered in past reflections
scattered carelessly by intent;
stardust dreams became waterfalls
cascading into pooled ink
as trust vanished
in a moments breath

suffocating confusion upon drenched billows,
burdened by the weight of silken promises lost,
a flicker of love’s memories breeched
the insignificant cracks
of a frail heart’s barricade

in a trace of dignity
rebuilding tomorrow,
strength crumbled,
allowing insanity saneness
to chance

for wings, feathered in hope

can always take flight

once again~

    Powerfully moving!!!

    "allowing insanity saneness" ,now there's a line that not only will twist one's tongue, but it has very deep emotional meaning This whole poem is very, very beautiful, although somewhat sad too You describe how something terrible can make one feel, but if that person is strong enough, how that person will use this experience to bounce back in the future(at least that's what I get out of it). Thank you for sharing this awesome piece with us and best of luck in the contest.
