Unbalanced

 

Love can be a destructive thing.

Or maybe it is relationships in general….

unbalanced not knowing what the future holds.

Past elements that weigh heavy tip the scales beyond recovery.

Each intricate memory crashes to the ground shattering like china.

The past is destroyed but there is no future in sight….Only now.

I piece it together but nothing fits and everything that was,

pours through the cracks, through my fingers,

and disappears into the ground.

My hands are dark

trying to separate one thing from the other…..

the fluid motion of time from the unyielding ground of reality.

How very true. There is so much uncertainty in some relationships. It really depends upon what each person brings to the table and their own individual stability. One that is unstable can send the relationship plummeting over the cliff. I think of the many things that my husband and I have walked through over the past 30 years and the many times we struggled. One time in particular, I thought we would divorce, but God pulled us through. It takes two though. Both of us had to decide to hold on.

The line that caught me: Each intricate memory crashes to the ground shattering like china.

It flows well. Packs a powerful message. Thanks for sharing....Carole
