Part of the Circle

Two lives joining
bonded together
part of the circle
of the family, the clan
joined with others
children to follow
but not the end of the story

Mirror cracked, broken
one in the circle now an Other
the circle unwound
shards sharp, hurting
their pain real, abiding
cutting into flesh
all who would touch them

Open wounds remaining
the circle is important
family, others needed
healing the damage
yet shards still there
encapsulated, remaining
waiting under heavy scar tissue

Hope in time for the circle
for the children in the union
for peace in troubled lives
comfort in the middle
when the two who were one
split asunder, broken
shards remaining yet
under scar tissue
