“BROKEN HEARTS, TRYING TO SAY HURRAY!” a poem, written for Sunday, August 18, 2019!
Broken Hearts!? Yeah, Broken Hearts are just laying all over the place;
I think that one might be mine? over there – the-one-with-the-pout-y-face!
When I picked it up, it was hot and cold;
It’s really pretty shattered! Well, I never was too bold,
Making more-or-less more “mistakes” than anyone I know,
Trying to deal with anything! Yeah, Love will come and go!
But, as I turned away (O. M. G.) I spotted ANOTHER ONE!
I’ve GOT TWO Broken Hearts! Geez! This isn’t very fun!
One, you-know, is REALLY (I think) quite enough;
Now! TWO! I don’t BELIEVE I can be so gosh darned tough,
To deal with TWO HEARTS BROKEN! But, wait! There’s ANOTHER!
Oh my! Oh, my! Now THREE! Ohhhhhhhhhh! Brother!
But, WAIT! As I look to and fro,
They’re ALL DESIGNATED “your broken heart!” and it’s EVERYONE I KNOW!
So, we’re ALL laying broken, crying in the sand?
And I just decided to pick-’em-all-up – and take ’em to The Backyard Land,
Where I stroked-and-fed-and-comforted-THEM – and read ’em some verse!
I declared, “We’re only human?!” and I hoped they wouldn’t all curse,
LIFE! or ME! ’cause We’re all so separate! AND TOGETHER,
And I really wasn’t sure – I wasn’t to-sure whether,
Any lives can be lived here, without having almost daily heart breaks,
But I tried to put all The Hearts together, while-everyone’s saying:
“We-are-all-such-fakes!
And we really don’t know (can you teach us, Mystic Poet) LOVE’S SWEET REFRAIN!
“Well,” I say: “JUST LOVE SUNSHINE! AND ALSO RAIN!
AND TRY TO BELIEVE THAT THINGS WILL BE OK!”
And, then, I-gathered-all-the-hearts-together,
and I-think-I-heard a little “Hurray!”
