    The Wounded Heart

a pale suns sets without
   pretension

the pure twilight clears
the lonely mind and spirit

a hundred billion galaxies
touch down in the deep-
  forest world

the bright moon rising
illuminates this tiny
corner of the universe

this Winter land is painted
in frosted moonlit shadows

dark and ancient mountains
reach to touch the silver clouds

the evening wind sings of
  memories and regrets

past and future hold no meaning
they are a mirage within a half-
  remembered dream

yet I see the sorrow in your eyes
and my hopes of love stumble
     and fall

how may I touch and heal
your wounded heart?

                --- b. e. adams (1/6/2016)

Another beautifully captivating creation from you, dear Bruce. How? Words such as yours come from a heart full of grace and their healing power is immense. Your sensitivity is very touching.

Love,
Margherita

With your wonderful words in mind I will now stop my visit on Pip for today and go visit dreamland instead. About time ... 1.12 am! Good night!

once again, thank you so much Ms. M. for your most kind comments !

... if I truly have "sensitivity" ... it stems from magnificent failure and great personal loss, etc.
