RESTORATION OF THE HEART by Linda Munday Canvas painted black and white, Sat on the dusty floor. Valueless or so it seemed, With pride of place no more. Musty in a darkened room, Encased in spider’s net. Crooked frame held no appeal, A relic to forget. Sunlight held the dusty motes, A light shone through the dark. Eyes beheld a precious work, Beneath the dirty marks. Brushed with love the dust came off, Revealed a masterpiece. Gentle strokes of loving hands, Bright colours now released. Love restored this wounded heart, Its true worth was revealed. Lifted to its rightful place, ‘Cause loving touch had healed. |

Linda, I cannot believe this poem has languished here without any comments! This a wonderful use of metaphor. Absolutely incredible - you held it together so firmly, and then you really killed me with the last verse. I can't say enough about how splendid this poem is. I love it. |

Brushed with love the dust came off, Revealed a masterpiece. Gentle strokes of loving hands, Bright colours now released. Love restored this wounded heart, Its true worth was revealed. Lifted to its rightful place, ‘Cause loving touch had healed. I am with LJA on this....the ending is one of sheer delight but for me it is both the last and second to last verses that I really love. The whole piece actually. Beautiful> |
