In a flash, a blink of an eye, the heart skips a beat, breaks, bounces, flutters, flies, falls high and hard, bombs burst with dissapointment, bullets of bewilderment fly, shattering hopes, splintering, piercing pain as shrapnel sprays it's scorching, searing destructive force. We want to sigh, die, bury our head in our own arms on the table of torment and just cry until we are left weak, hoping and praying, begging the ache to go away. Say goodbye to the tenderness snatched right out from under us, out of no where. Take a deep breath as a particular death and darkness beats down a love that just yesterday shined new light, timeless, seemingly well suited and poised for longevity. The earth becomes flat and we fall off the edge.
Stand tall armed with strength, courage, dignity...move forward one step at a time. Let tears flow, trickle down your sad face, get it out of your system as you wash yourself and renew. Resolve to refresh, replenish, restore and recharge as the shock waves slowly subside.
A loved one offers pearls of wisdom and says; "The warrior in you is saying; "I'll take it from here" when you decide that." "Love yourself as much as you love another." "OK now flip the switch in your heart too."
I'm amazed at the places one finds encouragement when feeling defeated. On a pair of recently acquired Samurai pants in Chinese calligraphy is very cool eye-catching artwork. It translates to: "Still Heart Poem" and says; if you hold back anger the winds will still and waves will calm, if you take one step back the sky will clear and oceans will fill ~
