Forever In Your Heart

0 posted 2009-04-05 01:46 AM






     

You are a soul, tender, hurting,
searching in darkness of life,
feeling empty, forsaken,
but I am here,

You feel lonely, sad, lost,
crying without tears,
broken, afraid, confused,
but I am here,

Your body aches, tired, sore,
from a life of stress,
feeling pressure, strain,
but I am here,

Your mind thinks thoughts, good, bad,
sometimes helping, sometimes ending,
hurting others, with words,
but I am here,

I see the pain behind those eyes,
I feel the burdens of your heart,
too much weight upon your back,

When you cry out, I listen,
I come with arms wrapped around you,
holding you, calming your heart,

I am here, I am here....

A tender, gentle and compassionate poem little Romantic Heart.

When I see your face all the angels are shamed.

I am most fond of the beginning of this ‘write’!:

“You are a soul, tender, hurting,
  searching in darkness of life,
   feeling empty, forsaken,
   but I am here…”

to bad many (most?) folks are not
empathic personalities as describe
so well by:

“I see the pain behind those eyes,
  I feel the burdens of your heart…”

If they were, it would be a far, far better
society.

glad to see the heart of Romanticism beating
so clearly in this ever-darkling world !

applause for this ‘penning’

I like the repetition employed here with the "I am here" and the way it tied in at the end.
Nice.
