So are the wounds of Winter,
barren and deep,
from the betrayal of Autumns
unfaithful leaving.

In Earth's sorrow
the tears of April weep,
as her mourning nears it's end.
Each tear falls upon her wounds,
to renew and replenish.

So does the broken heart betrayed
come full circle into beauty.

For only the rending of the Soul,
and the mourning of the dark hour,
shedding tears upon these wounds,
bring Grace and Spring
upon the Earth,
and courage to the heart.

New life and wonder
deep
and everlasting.

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

So very beautiful Ellie.
~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
   is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

hello ellie,

WOW I HAVE MISSED YOUR WORDS !!
I didn't realize how much until i read this one.
You are certainly a master of words and imagery and can reach my heart and soul with words like these.
Spring ........ perfect, just perfect words of the moment.

( wish i wrote the way you do ) These two opening stanza's were fantastic.
So are the wounds of Winter,
barren and deep,
from the betrayal of Autumns
unfaithful leaving.

In Earth's sorrow
the tears of April weep,
as her mourning nears it's end.
Each tear falls upon her wounds,
to renew and replenish.


Thanks for sharing these with us.
hugs from june xxxxx
