Pieces

It's difficult to want to start again

After each time of working diligently to build up what you find beautiful 

Only to watch it get torn down

You gather the salvageable pieces

Some are damaged beyond repair, and some are no longer necessary to you

So, you hope the next build will be fortified and true

Only to find, years down the road, it's not sturdy, and it gets knocked down, yet again 

So, you gather the remnants of what once was and head on to a new site, hopeful, again because joy comes from the inside 

But now, after so many builds and so many wreckage, you find it more difficult to even begin a new foundation 

Pieces are harder to find, and now they're more costly

So, this will take time, and you know good things take time

So, take your time. Build slowly but surely, and hope this last build will last
