Refuge From Failure

He tore me limb from limb

rearranged my parts to his own needs

and glued me forever onto his own failures.

But I prayed to the wind to blow me apart

and scatter me into the sea where I could bathe

in the healing briny peace where I could rest

finding a refuge to soothe my scars

rebuilding myself into foundation of light

so I could shine once more in the daylight.
