A heart so full
It knows only love.
A hand so soft it can only be
gentle.
a heart that feels the absence of love
can then recognize its presence
once it comes slowly trickling in like water
A hand that feels the rope slide through its palms and becomes burned
knows again of the tenderness of touch
A heart that keeps opening and cracking
knows of the beauty of wholeness
A hand that knows the ****** blisters grows new skin and knows the allure of the cool smoothness of marble.
It knows only love.
A hand so soft it can only be
gentle.
a heart that feels the absence of love
can then recognize its presence
once it comes slowly trickling in like water
A hand that feels the rope slide through its palms and becomes burned
knows again of the tenderness of touch
A heart that keeps opening and cracking
knows of the beauty of wholeness
A hand that knows the ****** blisters grows new skin and knows the allure of the cool smoothness of marble.
It is good to remember that our problems,our sorrows, our broken hearts, anything we might deem misfortunate cultivates us. Brews us into stronger human beings who can be courageous enough to face a new day without cynicism or despair but with joy. That everything can teach us something and that our beauty is in how in perfectly it seems our lives are. We are here and that is enough. There are hard times but they are here too and their nature is to teach us. So let’s welcome them.
