Time

Change...

By Toni CooperPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Tears are words the heart can not express

For too many are painful, harsh & cruel

Our very core, weakened under duress

Throat tightened and tacitly rueful

Heart on fire in a burning chest

More fervently sigh after sigh

Hastened in grief and in distress

A bleeding soul seeming to die

Longing for time to quickly come

To heal at once these unseen wounds

Unseen but felt a thousand fold

Awaiting seasons to dispel gloom

Pass Winter come to Spring

With all wonders this season brings

Atone my heart inner scarring

To once more blooms & wildly sing
