heart hope faith peace

heart on a string
is pulled
twisted
swaying by a third
thin strands
attached to broken pieces
swinging in the wind
shuddering in the cold
creaking as it moves
heart on a string

hope on the line
is shaken
torn
moving by a third
weak support
holding shattered hopelessness
shivers in the wind
goose-bumped in the cold
rocking as it moves
hope on the line

faith like a rock
is rolled
crumbled
sliding by a third
cracked earth
carrying too large a weight
rocks in the wind
as steel in the cold
reverberating as it moves
faith like a rock

peace like an ocean
is tossed
is tumbled
flowing by a third
fluid in motion
unable to bear the crash of waves
droplets in the wind
freeze in the cold
solidifying as it moves
peace like an ocean

heart on a string
twisted
hope on the line
torn
faith like a rock
crumbled
peace like an ocean
tumbled

what is left of me?
