Carefully I reach into the depths and draw it from the darkness,
Lay it down upon the cutting board and reach for the knife
Piece by piece
Side by side
Slice and divide
A million pieces of my heart
Will it ever be enough?
Raw and wild, each fraction a reflection of the whole
Every part complete even when broken,
Divided,
Torn.
Beating under my fingertips as I witness each tiny offering
And gift my open heart upon open palm
So many ways to love
Flesh and form
Hearts and thoughts
Parts and whole
Snippets of soul
So many ways to love
A million pieces of my heart
A million ways to love
A million and counting
