Stay curious my child for gentle will come this way again
and sweeter will it have never been
But for the teardrops and the broken hearts
that were bitter comfort in the fright filled dark
You may have missed the power of a delicate kiss
or the flutter of a heartbeat awash in bliss
Through tears the moon shines more luminous still
and all the heartbreaks only strengthen your will
So stay curious my child gentle will come this way again
and richer you will have never been

ReplyDeletebeautiful - i'd kind of like to know what's been going on in your newborn year ...
ReplyDeletemaybe it's because you seem to heal a bit like i do ... quietly, in ways that others might not "get" ...
the flutter of a heartbeat awash in bliss gorgeous line ... my wish for you ...
it has been a story of betrayal & despair worthy of its own greek tragedy, and then the winds changed, right about the time the poetry returned.
