Ten Parts
I have ten parts to my heart
Ten parts that you take
Ten parts that you watch for
Ten parts where I ache
The runner is heavy, her breath out of wind
You take her up gently, and lift her to end
The mistress is surly, and tangled a lot
You take her in softly, untie all the knots
The witness is worried, her song out of reach
You take her beside you, the music you teach
The loner is hope-drained, her view rather bleak
You take her hand kindly, and starlight you seek
The lover is awe-struck, her emptiness grows
You take her eyes to you, and mend all her woes
The child is spinning, her thoughts moving swift
You take her mind off things, and offer a lift
The seeker is weary, so much truth to be found
You take her ear tender, and whisper no sound
The actor is drowning, she’s pretending to be
You take her dreams with you, and set them all free
The poet is hiding, her heart severed in two
You take in her pieces, and make her anew
The angel is crying, her fears come again
You take her pain to you, and call her dear friend

Nice verse, Sam. I enjoyed it much.
Nice song, too! 🙂

thanks Kindred Spirit! 🙂 much appreciated.
Did you do ‘free form’ drawing, then find the picture within it? I do this sometimes when I’m running dry, and a picture always emerges that I needed to see! I can feel parts of myself in your poem, somewhere in there, maybe should say it feels familiar? Complete fun for me, this post!!
Yes. It was free form. Can you see a creator holding the child from behind? :))
Really beautiful. I became a Grandma on this day. Beautiful picture.
Happy Grandmother day! :)))
