Piggy
Pigs
with their pink snouts
snorting
and playing in the mud
eating
slop from a trough.
Not
supposed to be very pretty.
But
what is pretty anyway?
Maybe
pretty is a doll?
with
shiny hair
bright
eyes and a perfect body.
Or
a celebrity
always
in the spotlight
airbrushed
to perfection
in
all the magazines.
Not
like a pig at all.
Yet
Pig is in me.
Proud
am I,
of
it too.
I
am content
and
I think I am pretty.
I
will always be
the Piggy that I am.
Blue Dragonflies
As tears fall
I see a glint of blue
flying fast
then hovering
right where you
should be.
Now everywhere I go
blue dragonflies
come to life
for me.
They promise
strength, hope
and good things to
come
as I heal.
With the help
of their fast wings
they carry me through
and remind me
that not all is lost.
Showing me the way
comforting me
and letting me know
you are always very
near.
Broken Heart
Shattered and
impossible to repair.
Once it breaks
it doesn’t go
back together
in the same way.
Sometimes it is easy,
sometimes it is hard,
and hidden so well!
Behind a smile.
Behind eyes
that only show
hints of sadness
and glimpses
of things past.
Search deep
and carry on
without the pieces
that will never fit
into place again.
Happy
I remember when
in my
darkest time
you found me.
Picked me up
out of the abyss
I was sinking into.
You lifted me up
carried my soul,
and showed me light.
Happy
in ways I thought
had been lost.
A minute never goes by,
that I don’t think of him.
An hour never goes by,
that I don’t think of you.
A day never goes by,
that I don’t think of us.
Happy
The reasons they
brought us to be
what we are,
I don’t understand.
All I know
is
that it was you
who rescued me.
Together now.
Happy.
Missing Glass
They were supposed to rescue me
instead they me a prisoner
in my own house
Doing their bidding
all the time.
Friends were animals,
mice, dogs, horses
that I whispered to alone.
Told them of my wishes
and dreams
for a better life.
How do I become free?
I wait for the chance
that never seems to come.
So many obstacles
in the way.
Wishes can come true
I finally had my chance.
Caught up in the beauty
of the moment
I did not listen to the warnings
again I was trapped.
But
love saved me.
Through a chance
of missing glass.
To my jail keepers
I forgive.
To my animal friends
I rescue
and to my love,
only for you I live
happily ever after.
