Thirty-two Stories

by Lynda Allen

 

One heart on the surface grown cold.

Thirty-two stories being told.

 

One heart alone and lost.

Thirty-two stories the cost.

 

One heart buried beneath rage.

Thirty-two stories fill the page.

 

One heart who we could not reach.

Thirty-two stories left behind to teach.

 

One heart alone among us all.

Thirty-two stories a mourning call.

 

One heart with anger as its cell.

Thirty-two stories of those who fell.

 

One heart that would not heal

Thirty-two stories read as we kneel.

 

One heart in the soul’s darkest night.

Thirty-two stories shared and hearts unite.

 

One heart to learn to forgive.

Thirty-two stories to remind us how to live.

 

One love unites all souls.

Thirty-three times the bell tolls.
