Fractured frame stumbling
up the tree of life.
Stature low, you crawl,
(there’s only one way)
you say one thing,
and then you say
another thing –
going nowhere…
I pick you
up and throw
seeds to wind,
praying
that you’ll
rise.

Glad you like this, very glad you took these words to heart, in some form or another; that little guy was always listening, even if he was bound and gagged.

You clearly have super powers and supreme patience. He was lucky to have you care enough to help.
Kristin Reynolds replied
super powers: YES. lol
Supreme patience: I have 5 kids…how else would I still be alive to tell any tales. :)
I hope he feels himself lucky now..because before? During those days? He felt nothing but his own beast ripping his flesh to ribbons and screaming hate at those he loved most. a terrible truth alcoholism, terrible.
thanks, Mark.
he’s stopped drinkng now…that makes it all worht it for me. honestly, it really does. :)

the worm of alcoholism . . . i suppose there are successes though i have not seen them…
Kristin Reynolds replied
There are, trust me. I hope the best stays far from the man, as he, as you may know, has really really blown up into blossoms more brilliant than I ever imagined.

Liked this. Succinct and powerful. The separation of the word “rise” – a nice bit of syntax emphasizing the sense of both loneliness and hope, as well as seeming like a command.
Kristin Reynolds replied
Thank you, Shaun. :)
