Hiatus
a dramatic pause
a break in the happy humdrum
and the heart lay shattered
fearing the tomorrow
she retraced in the
dark well of the unknown
night which wasn’t leading to the sunrise
what to do? what not to say?
silence descended and she lost her voice
all around things seemed normal
a furtive glance outside that
numbing space revealed that
life goes on
be in that pause if you must
take your time
find that comfortable moment
peep out and return when you want
the shattered heart is healing with time
don’t hurry for there is nothing to burry
but thy sorrow and grief
dramas will endure
so must your courage
little girl, go on, find that spark
even in that pause
smile and emerge from that hiatus
into a happy cacophony of the superficial
mingling with the essential drama of life
smarter, braver you
feel the magic in the mundane
go on, little heart, peep out
assume your identity and be that
big toughie with a discerning eye
to filter the faux and the real
be you, just you
raw and real.
