The Saving of You

Haiku string

By Colleen WaltersPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

You’re so innocent.

I just want to protect you

from the ones who steal

+

your own wants, desires,

your joy, your peace, hopes and dreams

under the guise of “love”.

+

Spell binding, blinding,

broadsiding, biding their time,

triggers call you back.

+

They’re casting your dye

Adroitly meek and gentle

as kindred spirit.

+

But what you don’t know

can, and will, disfigure you

In rhythmic tempest.

+

Advantage taken.

Trusting , thrusting, garden spurned

pleasures meant to steal.

+

Born of wicked will

beget wicked every time

but there’s an escape.

+

The one who’s been sent

holds the key to see you free,

retracing your steps.

+

Awkward or painful

The path in is the path out

to erase footprints.

+

A new beginning,

a rebirth of heart and mind,

body and soul healed.

_+

Reach for your journey,

It’s all right there waiting for you.

The power of three.
