Gather up your heart from the dirt <br />where it was carelessly dropped <br />in passing <br />The one who held it with ignorant hands <br />imperceivably <br />had lost this forgotten gift <br /> <br />Bathe it in warm wet sorrow <br />liquid light <br />cleanse away those echo prints <br />Dipping deep into silken truth <br />let bitter-sweet understanding <br />trickle, streak <br />Drip away residual impressions <br /> <br />Safely stowed in your familiar possesion <br />it will swiftly heal and regenerate <br />From within <br />A rythmic love will gust forth <br />and sweep through inside and out <br /> <br />Ride that sweet glow-breeze <br />with a smile on your lips <br />Awareness in your eyes <br />gratitude in your mind <br />And laughter abounding! <br /> <br />Your glittering treasure-gift sparkles again <br />glinting and prismatic <br />An offering to self <br />you gratefully accept <br /> <br />Now with face forward <br />whole and complete <br />You step down onto your path <br />with a secret rainbow-shine about you <br />And only one quick backward glance<br /><br />Tara Crown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/radiant-lamenting/
