The Collection

Ripped to shreds…

All the tension, pain, anger,
fear, impatience…

Torn to pieces…

All the violence, hate, despair,
hopelessness, apathy…

And set sail on a gentle wind…
Never
To assemble again
in the same place
at the same time

Collecting…
Fragments of freedom
Pieces of peace
Jars of joy
Tins of Tolerance
Hay sacks of happiness
And large loads of love

Mixing them together…
To form a coagulating concoction
Transparent and elusive
Steamed to evaporation
Into a gas creating a cloud
To rain upon the world

…and soak life to the bone
