~Peace Of Heart~

She sat alone in the grand old mansion
her thoughts in silent reverie
as she thought about the future
and days that used to be.

The coming hot August evening
brought a certain stillness to the air
she moved to the mahogany writing desk
her hearts sadness she would now bare.

In verse she poured out her emotions
in the daily journal that she kept
the pages becoming faded and worn
from all the tears that she had wept.

She wrote of how she missed him
and of how she had loved him so
that she knew deep in her heart
it was time to let him go.

With ink and feathered quill
loves sweet sorrow she released
and this night she would have rest
her heart finally finding peace.

Donna, I saw this one and the conclusion listed and I opened even this one with trepidation - so afraid that it won't end happily. This was lovely - and its picture - but I have to rush off to see the conclusion which I will open with even more trepidation.

The heart endures, but I don't think I'll ever know what to do with the pain.

It's just the way it is, I guess.

Hugs, you~

That's all one can do...to let go and live again.

Lovely work, Donna.

With ink and feathered quill
loves sweet sorrow she released
and this night she would have rest
her heart finally finding peace.

Dear Donna that is such a sweet poignant
poem that really touches the heart strings,
Top accolades my dear. Love

Lindsay
