Colours of the setting sun bleed into the horizon
Reds and purples brushed onto a canvas of blue
Stars emerge to dust the dirt from the day
Then fall in exploding fireworks of a summer evening
Suddenly all the pain is gone from inside my heart
Everything makes sense through these eyes
Cast on a city of ghostly shadows
Haunting whispers of voices long forgotten blow in the breeze
That stirs the blinds in my windows
Open and closing the view that heals my body
Blistered feet and aching legs
Miles traveled to the edge of the Thames and back
Water rushing over the dam
Crashing silently below on the other side
Scattering bugs into the July evening
I wipe the sweat off my neck
Focused on the tranquil nature before me
Lost in my thoughts of nothingness
Emptying my heart of all love.

Seek it again, and again 'til you find it. Never give up....it sustains. Never ever give up. Sending a hug.

The last line seems rather incongruous to me as the lines leading up to it show a man who sees and appreciates the beauty of nature and his heart is brimming with love for it!

Perhaps a disappointing love relationship drained some of the love from your heart, but you still have a whole lot of loving going on in that heart of yours!

Loving, healing hugs,
EA
