Like the colour of old ragged cloth <br />My tears fade <br />Eroded pain like washed away earth <br />Depart my soul <br />Flowing with patient ease <br />Graven heart full of bitter love <br />Now opens up like the first blush of spring <br />Ready to welcome the new secret of fresh love <br />Rolled up in new expectation <br />My soul smiles and lights up my face <br />Hopeful gazing and wondering of what the future holds <br />Tears now faded leave a cool feeling to my cheeks <br />My lips curve in a full smile finally after so long <br />All is well after all and the peace calmly rolls in<br /><br />Elizabeth Jacqueline Mpanga<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fading-tears/
