Shattered.....

There are pieces of me ....
Smiles..
Laughs...
Tears....
little bits of my heart...
Warmth...
Tenderness....
Passion.....
Rare moments of anger....
Flashes of lightening in my peaceful world....
All these wonderful bits that make me who I am...
Little moments in time.....
That stack up to create one whole....
And these pieces are scattered through out the years...
From mountain tops...
To dusty terminals...
To the Hawaiian sands....
Scattered...
Held by other lands...
Other times....
some by precious people I have chosen to share a little bit of my heart with....
Sometimes I wonder...
With all these bits scattered...
Do those of you who hold a part of me understand that it's a gift?
Do you cherish it...
As I cherish the bit's and pieces that have been left with me.....
Do you even know it's there???
Yes...
I am convinced that there are little pieces of me...
Some laying dormant...
To be awakened when I find them again...
In the same way my heart sings when I turn that corner and catch my first glimpse of the three sisters...
When I feel the arms of a good friend embrace me....
And some....
Ready to take the leap...
into the arms or memory of another person or place....
Some are meant to be precious moments in time...
Laughter...
tenderness...
Love....
And some are meant to be broken....
Each little bit....
creating one whole....
until  I am complete....
One person...
Made up of millions of little pieces....
