The wrecking ball

Came smashing through

Putting an end

To all that was you.

*********************

As, in shock,

You stand and stare

Wondering

"What, if any, of me is left there?"

***************

To your amazement

Some whole bricks survive.

They are parts of you

That are still alive.

*****************

Take time to grieve

For all you have lost

And don't even try

To count the cost.

******************

There is more I will post later just brain sore long weekend .

Love n hugs

Xoxo

*****************have rested so here's more.

The worst case scenario

For the very few

Is that you can make lots

Of pretty rockeries to view.

************"**"****""*

Yet for the majority

It's time to re build.

So make it a palace

with treasures filled.

Wonderfully put :) great to read thank you :)

Lovely writing which really strikes a chord with anyone who has known what it is like to have a BI. The 'time to grieve' bit is so true and the one which we don't all always get. If we are lucky we can rebuild and find a degree of tranquility but boy, does it take ages sometimes and yes, there is almost always a lot of loss. I wish a tranquil, pain free and calm day to you all.
