Finding Heart Mirror

Once there was only gray anticipation,

no yearning,

and no trust,

the good that came

was just an echo,

it only lasted for a second,

no joyful heart,

no love,

waterfall stayed unmoved

by ocean flowing into night

of heartache.

***

One morning breeze turned into dreams,

wind started dancing to a tune,

I didn't know the words

melody drew my soul.

I let sadness stay

on the sill,

opened the door,

and rushed

into a sunlit garden,

hazy feelings

coming to rest

in shade, among the petals.

***

I couldn't read the way

chasing the wind,

each step

happiness coming into smiles

one sunbeam at a time,

one hug,

one bloom that came to stay

on cheeks.

***

Smiles became loving looks,

the voice

I couldn't help

caring and trusting,

fate was alight again,

no warning,

no bell to ring true

as night had sunk,

so had regrets melted

away.

***

One puddle of dark songs

forlorn,

bundle of wishful weavings

lie in a cave,

anger dripping a stream,

I let go of what was,

loving the day you gave me,

asking each morning for a smile

yours, mine,

as it was then,

it stays.

***

Sunshine has found its corner

in home, in spirit,

and in joy

in playing hide-and-seek with fate

it gave me you

I gave myself

to love.
