Teamwork Makes The Dream Work
I look at all the pieces that surround me
Fragments of time that lay shattered
I stand amongst a myriad of memories
Love
Loss
Life
Death
Hope
Despair
Victories
Failures
It fills up the space and I feel claustrophobic
I cannot live like this
I cannot continue to hoard
I must let go of the things that are of no use
There's so much to go through
Nostaligia skews my decision making abilities
Every piece I pick up I find some reason to keep
I throw my hands up, fully ready to concede
A figure catches my attention out of the corner of my eye
I turn to see you standing there with a smile
dustpan
And a
broom
Fragments of time that lay shattered
I stand amongst a myriad of memories
Love
Loss
Life
Death
Hope
Despair
Victories
Failures
It fills up the space and I feel claustrophobic
I cannot live like this
I cannot continue to hoard
I must let go of the things that are of no use
There's so much to go through
Nostaligia skews my decision making abilities
Every piece I pick up I find some reason to keep
I throw my hands up, fully ready to concede
A figure catches my attention out of the corner of my eye
I turn to see you standing there with a smile

I really like this. I think it speaks to a daily struggle that many can relate to and how the presence of someone special in our lives can give us the strength/motivation to face whatever comes. Love is a pretty damned strong shield from the daily BS.

It is hard to let go of mental & spiritual clutter, as well
as actual clutter.
You feel so much lighter when you let stuff go,
why we hold so tight I don't know
Great write, I really liked.

It really is a struggle to let go. Even to the things that weigh us down.
Thanks for reading and dropping a comment.

Did you realise you kind of made a broom shape with your layout there? I just thought that was a cool dimension.
The absolute joy of watching your thought process here move into the possibility of something beautiful. As if your mind gives way to your body. Like you’ve been lonely too long. And then that closing thought… dust to dust. Wonderful.
Enjoy the light a little. ☀️

I wish I could take credit for purposely creating a broom shape but it just came out that way on its own. As if it was meant to be.
Im really glad you liked this piece. The loneliness has given way to a feeling of closeness. The right person by your side who is willing to dig into the dust and get their hands dirty can make all the difference.
I am so grateful for the light.

It seems you’ve found some resolve through all of this. It can be so refreshing to “clean house” and make room to welcome more light into your life.
