Refresh Me

There were tears
within the
summer rains of youth.

So pleased I was
to see them concealed in
heaven's moisture,
that none would know them.

Too many storms
would cross the days of truth,
as thunder
boiled, snarled, threatened.

Cracked and chipped,
I am a
vase
of many words.

A flower in need of
water
and what is left,
grown stagnant.

Summer rains,
return
and freshen what is me.

Though petals fallen,
still left
are buds that long to blossom.

Very simply: this took my breath away. Such wonderful imagery. Such excellent writing.

This is superb. It is beginning a message of the heart in me. I must escape just now, and allow it to unfold. The heart of your muse, in me, has taken hold.

This is heartbreakingly stunning.

Hauntingly beautiful. Nice imagery and writing.
