Buried
deep within the soul...
softly
beat my hidden heart.
cowered
in the darkness of the corner,
shunning
even the lightest touch.
A
rose blackened by the pain and hurt of life
without
love ..... without tenderness.......
wilted
to the blackness of pain,
cold
and dank......... where was the light?
A
single drop of love did fall..
the
tear released from your silken cheek.
That
salty touch that came from the corner or your eye,
fell
softly at my feet.
A
rainbow danced quietly upon the crown of that teardrop,
as
it slowly slid to the corner where my long lost heart lay.
Trembling,
afraid.... I slowly reached out .....
and
you shivered.
So
afraid.. so scared.. I saw that you were crying so hard.
I
touched you ... just ever so lightly......
and
you thrust your arms around me...... so scared.
then
it was me who shivered in such fear.
As
your teardrops fell softly upon my shoulder...
I
felt the pain ... the hurt .. the loneliness,
and
my self imposed isolation seemed so foolish.
There
is love........ and it is real.
Slowly....
the moisture from our tears......
seeps
quietly to our souls.......
and
then, without a word....
a
single ray of sunlight touches the petals of the heart.
Let
the rose reach upward.....
and
let the heavens nurture the beauty of innocence
brushing
back the ugliness of the past.
let
the rose bloom again..............................
