A Broken Heart

 

A lovely lass stands alone, high atop a cliff

Over looking the sea below

The fine mist rising, ever rising,

Until she can taste the salty air

Until it seems to penetrate her very soul

There is a quiet beauty in the morning light

That can not be described

Only felt, only if alone

Alone to contemplate the magical music

Of the pounding surf

The song of the gulls

As the dawn brings the light spilling through the clouds

Outstretched branches of trees near by

Seem to convey their love

Pretty little wild flowers slowly opening their petals

When kissed by the morning sun

Dew drops covering like dancing diamonds in the wind

The colors permeate her body, deep within

There she finds a gentle peace

A healing that takes place to mend a broken heart

She begins to feel lighter than the mist

Freer than the birds in flight

Softer than the petals

Enfolded by the boundless love of nature

So freely given, so freely taken

Problems are washed away

By the streaming sunlight

The morning air as it gently caresses her hair

The energy of mother earth is there taking care

Her loneliness disappears

Into a warm loving feeling

Of universal belonging.
