cobbled together





cobbled together

she lived her life her own way,
she cobbled everything together, 
the best she could,
with tape and wire and cement
she hammered and fixed it up
smoothing out every dent,
only thing she couldn't 
was her heart she had that 
broken, once, 
unmended all those years,
unended all those tears,
untended all those fears,
she poured her love into children 
and dogs and the elderly 
she served in her job, 
she deserved a better end, but,
who can defend against a well-lived life 
cobbled together?

and love

and love and love happens like lightning striking in a moment, in a day, in a glance. and love changes like dawn breaks, imperceptibly from dark to light. and love surrounds like morning mist, rising from nowhere until it envelopes. and love grows from pain to hunger gnawing from the belly and the mind. and love is desperate like addiction overriding every other appetite. and love creates a world like a dream where days are lived in slow motion. and love empowers like confident faith emboldening to overcome obstacles. and love lasts like the ocean waves' ebbs and flows, forever. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image:  By elayne001 via pixabay
