Forever Hope; Forever Love

Eyes closed

Listening

We’ve lost the meaning of forever

The layers of the heart are wilting and being replaced with stone walls.

The sleeve is ripped off, the pain is no more.

Our world has hardened what was once soft and closed our minds off to greatness.

Be still

Closed arms

An emptiness exists where warmth was once felt.

The darkness surrounds us, the light is continually snuffed out.

The door remains locked, the key forever lost.

Defeat

It lingers in the air

Eating away at any ounce of kindness left within the soul.

Thorns replace what once was home

Hurting all who dare get a little to close

Shattered

The reflection of what we’ve become crashes to the floor.

The pain is brought to the surface

The tears drive us to our knees

Soon we become numb to our surroundings.

Beating

Locked away,

Our hearts are still tirelessly working

But for what?

Hope

Love

Life

Journey

Forever

Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

Just because you don’t feel, doesn’t mean you aren’t touched.

Just because you’re broken, doesn’t mean you’re unloved

Just because you’re in denial, doesn’t mean your perception can’t change.

Every dark night is followed by light.

Eyes open

Open arms

With each passing moment, the light grows brighter.

Hope grows stronger and suddenly we see our purpose.

There in the midst of all we thought was lost, lies the answer.

Our sleeve is on the arms of a man who needed love the most.

The warmth we lost is embracing the hurt of those who needed it most.

Our kindness went to those who were giving up.

Our tears were watering the ground in which we built our life.

The thorns were there to protect our delicate soul until new roses could blossom.

Because sometimes we have to break in order to see true beauty.

Countless tears

Millions of hearts

Priceless souls

A garden full of roses

Love is a journey.

A journey full of pain, denial, heartache and brokenness

Embrace love

Shatter the stone

After all

Love is why we exist.

Forever and Always!
