TO BE WHOLE… a poem

I only thought I was whole,

But that was way back when.

Back when I held the world in my hands.

Back before that world crumbled into pieces.

I only thought I was whole.

Now, I know that I’m whole.

I have come such a long way.

I have learned so much about me and you.

How could I have been so wrong?

Now, I know that I’m not whole.

Here is my whole life before me.

I do still dream, but I keep my head.

Perhaps, wisdom will come if I pay attention.

Perhaps, you are the catalyst to keep me balanced.

Here is my whole life – before me.
