Reconcile
by Jody PrattLet me reflect in your eyes
so I can fully appreciate
your point of view.
Show me your shades of gray
so there can be depth
to your rainbow of true colors.
Put your scars on display
so your body can describe to me,
its favorite stories about you.
Lets put our hearts on our sleeves
so the jagged edges meet up
when we hold hands. 07/14/2011 Author's Note: You are all privy to the first piece I've written in months.
