Aching. <br />Longing. <br />Museful pondering. <br />Hopes peak and blossom <br />like a tender and delicate white rose <br />perched precariously <br />on the edge of a mountain peak. <br />Hopes plummet and swirl <br />downward <br />downward <br />downward <br />into a rushing <br />rocky <br />tumult <br />of <br />unsettled <br />and chaotic <br />waters. <br />Time passes <br />and the water stills <br />with a calm and peaceful <br />serenity. <br />Hopes spring anew <br />with vibrancy <br />and a tender compassion <br />and fresh promise <br />and wonder <br />if they <br />can begin again <br />anew?<br /><br />Julie A Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/longing-for-love-8/
