A heart of sorrow <br />Which cannot be repaired <br />Lost in life's silent ache <br />Burns holes in my memory. <br /> <br />Faded recollections <br />Warm waves come in a flood <br />A future burnt in ruins <br />Caressing a sweet tomorrow. <br /> <br />Long time holding on <br />Velvet ribbons cradle my soul <br />A silver cross hides despair <br />Silently healing a breaking heart. <br /> <br />Truth that grasps sadness <br />Surely calms a troubled brow <br />Fluent words softly spoken <br />Quietly brings help and comfort. <br /> <br />Peace poured out in a flood <br />Love through eternal splendor <br />Joy sublime in endless giving <br />A deluge of drowning grace.<br /><br />Alan Paul Stevens<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-heart-of-sorrow/
