"Healing comes through Love
and Love starts within us."
~ Unwordy Lips


A NEW FOUND LOVE

 

Ebony and ivory keys—

their rise and fall stealthily

lures the heart. Will it skip 

a beat, or simply forget 

or rather choose to retaliate

as memories go by

like flashcards? The mind—too weary 

to retrace its steps, reducing to what if's and why's...
Will it then savor the serenity of the dusk,

the old man's tale lingering in an open fire….
children's laughter thrives like never before

But to top it all—
celebrate herself as
a new found love
that glows even in the dark.
