Round Corners

Missing image
Image Credit: Lonely Window by Chris Conrad 2003



It might have been magic,

the hand held between lonely

or

perhaps a dream

but it stood sturdy,
capturing adored glass corners

pointing splintered shards
from the echoes of empty
into tomorrow.

Its softness
cushioned the slaps against my heart

and I held it

until tides wore its corners round.

    This is lovely and so expressive of the hidden self's need and struggle to continue on in this sometime too hard life.wonderfully emotional.

    The emotion in this is subtle, yet unmistakable. The words are felt rather than read.

    "....it's softness cushioned the slaps against my heart..." LOVE this line. I could feel the comfort in these words.

    Expertly penned, indeed!
    I SOOOO enjoyed the read, my friend.

    I love how you redirect this with the
    most fragile hope...
    so that the sharpness of loss no longer
    cuts, but still is felt. This one will
    leave no reader untouched. Blue
