It’s broken, they say –
the modern world lies in ruin.
It’s easy to believe them.

I also believe
broken things can be precious
if looked after lovingly.

We always lost most precious things in our life, when the things we have to protect become too many.

Today
the sun showed me
my value
I shone
like a precious
stone
standing
alone

A conversation with you could last a life time.
Like oxygen, I take in every word you utter,
Every sound and every syllable.
I hunger for more every time silence prevails.
Words give an insight into the head
And to me your head is a place of indescribable intrigue.
Tell me more; let me in.
I lap up everything that leaves your lips
With the focus of an archer, I study these deliverers of such precious and unique information.
Speech from you is a gift to me.
The longer we talk, the more I know.
Every word you tell me slots into its place in my brain,
Too valuable to go to waste.
I will hold them forever,
My own treasure, my own snippets of you.
Your words.

My beloved,
It breaks my heart to see you
Crying out in pain
Suffering
Hating
Doubting
Please, my daughter,
Know that I have cried
Along with you
Every tear from your eyes
Has landed in my palm
I hear your silent screams
And my being aches with you
I vow to you
That I will never
Ever
Let you cry alone
I will never
Leave your side
And I will always
Remind you
In the midst of your
Agony
Grief
Self-loathing
That to me
You are the most
Precious
Valuable
Beautiful
Of all creation
Beloved Daughter, we will overcome the evils of this world, and I will give you peace.

A little bird
trapped in a golden cage,
fed with precious jewels,
diamonds and pearls.
Had everything
anyone could ever ask,
except for one thing
she can never have.
--- Freedom.
