Holding Flowers

She could have tossed

the broken pieces away

swept up the shards

and let it be

over and done with

But that just wasn’t

her kind of way

She picked up every piece

laid them down

then one by one

placed them back in

best way she could

a little bit of super glue

a whole lot of patience

and there she had it

couldn’t hold sangria anymore

no more Texas tea

but she placed a mason jar

down inside

filled water to the brim

and the broken pitcher

was put to use

holding flowers

So much like her heart

she’s took those broken pieces

instead of turning bitter

holding grudges

acting ugly

throwing fits

making more to regret

she just lays down

opens up

reaches out

and gives 

another chance

and finds herself

holding flowers.

More Than A Song

She read the lyrics

Heard the music

Felt the vibrations

And something else

It was more than just a song

It was a desire and a longing

A promise broken

Another one kept

The yearning of her heart

An answered prayer

The story she lived but didn’t write

The little things

Shared history

Secrets and understandings

Battle cries

Lullabies

Memories

In a chorus 

Or one single word

Chaos and peace

Bitter and sweet

Everything she ever imagined

In more than a song
