Broken coloured shards of light

inside a kaleidoscope

caught inside a tumble dryer

that’s how my life feels.

Broken, trapped inside a bubble

waiting for someone to burst it

let the pieces out, try to put them back together.

How can one life be so fractured, splintered?

How can I have wasted so much time

on a fool with no eyes to see?

Was he blinded by the shards of light

from an ancient woodland?

Did the light remove part of his

knowing, his ability to love?

Can my love remove the blind?

I am reposting Anita’s lovely poem today because I am broken.

Somehow, I have become a virus victim. I don’t think it is THE  virus… but today all bets are off!

my temperature keeps soaring, but not having trouble breathing, so not really sure of anything yet. I do feel a little better today, so maybe it is on the way out!

Thinking of you all,

Jaye

    1. They think its a nasty kidney infection, but its horrible. At least it wasn’t the beastly virus!

      1. Oh bless you.💐 🌷 🌹 🥀 🌺 🌸 🌼 🌻
        Kidney infections are indeed horrid. Will you be able to have any medication soon?
        It’s a strange time we live in when being told you have a kidney infection can be greeted with something not so far from relief.
        Best wishes.
