Love Poem: Convalescence

Convalescence

Antiques to ashes
Left with dusty faces

Love birds to broken hearts
Left in a thousand parts

Riches to rags
Left lonely like stags

Life still goes on
In cycles of seasons

Rainfall and snowfall
Reaching out to us on the floor

Our hard hearts softened by the torrent
From fragility we are hardened by the sun

Drop by drop a paddles starts to lift
Till it is a stream with a drift

Ray by ray our eyes overlook the pain
We are healed to live again
