Place Above The Average Poem by D Loveday Morris

Place Above the Average

She finds a place above average
A solace and a space to salvage
The ripped lines and shattered pieces
A place where she can do as she pleases

She finds time for herself
In a buttercup free from everything else
She untangles, unwinds and restores
So that she can have enough to give more

And there she met peace who called her by name
They bonded, entangled, wrestled and were never to be the same
Then in harmony, awake she lie
Discovering the answers to the hows and whys

And the pieces shattered no more
Stitched and healed better than before
So she smiled quite satisfied
It is better to live than die
