heartsoft

Here's a poem I wrote earlier this month that voices the continual cry of my heart over the past several weeks -

heartsoft

Keep my heart soft
Tender and warm

To live and feel
With a heart that's alive

To love and cherish
With a heart that's true

To hope and dream
With a heart that's full

Don't let the arrows
Harden and chill

Keep my heart soft
Tender and warm

healing pain

Here's a poem I wrote last week that describes my spiritual journey over the past 40 days -

healing pain

The arrows pierced
To the core of my being

The pain struck
A distant part of my heart

The pain revealed
A darkened corner of my soul

The pain awakened
A desire long abandoned

The pain offered
A chance to feel again

The pain opened
A pathway to healing

The pain invited me
To love again

- Lindsay
