For Broken Hearts

In painful retrospect
and recognition
of love that
was only an indication
not a clarification
to an ailing mind
and arrhythmic heart
that now can begin
to heal.

Healing is a gift of life, wonderful to feel...but it usually takes a long time. Enjoyed your poem!

Wonderful insights here Bob...
Sometimes it takes so much for the mists to clear, and the healing to begin.
Happy for your art, and for you.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

I agree with snow. I am placing this write gently into my library to read again and again. Wonderful. Chris

Ummm this is a little embarrassing.

One of you pointed out a grammatical error that I SHOULD have noticed.

Please always feel free to proofread anyone's work. That really is a kindness and not a harsh criticism.

I am not posting for a while until I figure out why I posted in such haste that I did not take the time to proofread my own work. I believe this will allow me time to improve the quality of my writing.

As always, thank you for reading.
