After

Opening a long closed heart is like:

After years of torment torture and pain,

a final stop to the end of it's reign.

Lighting a torch in a dark cave after years of seeing no real light,

with deep water below, jumping off despite the great height.

Slaying the beast who guarded you heavily against true love,

official release of a plain white dove.

Making a stand on stage after years of stage freight,

seeing eyes wide open, a shooting star at night.

Crying for the right reason,

freshly built homes after a raging stormy season.

Again, playing a piano,

holding onto pain for years, and having just let go.

Painting an actual work of art,

being back renewed finally at the start.

Writing a story,

trying not to worry.

Holding a real baby,

thinking "I really will," after only thinking "maybe."

It's like starting a new life...

after loss of everything that was right.

Beautiful grand re-opening,

this time, no stopping hoping.

Care and devotion,

deeper than the ocean.

After care in everything,

re-evoking our caring decree.
