Essence

Love

The Essence of the Secret Wish of your Heart 

 A Heart once Broken Once Deformed

Braced and Healing from the Ravages of the Storm 

Where once it was so hard to breathe

Hard to cry Hard to try 

 Tracing a parallel line through the middle of your life

No known reasons seemingly more backwards than before

You have touched the fire 

 Braved the wind 

 Embraced the earthen mud

Been drowned in Sorrows beneath

 the surface of the pummeling waves

Your House  

Your Home

 Your Heart  

Decimated  Razed

Makes Way in the Hazy Outline of the 

Sketch you've Drawn in your Mind

the one that comes to life 

When you Breathe in Color

Breathe to Life the Texture of your Dreams

So you open your tightly clenched palm

Concentrate to hold on to the Dawn

Cupping your Innocence so tenderly like the butterfly that you are

Vulnerable to these Elements of Change

Fluttering  Deliberate   Divine

Love is the Essence that is your Heart
