Love Abounds

To my dear Caira day, although I know you but for one piece of writing, I hope this brings you comfort in your time of grieving.

When a heart breaks, an angel cries

and heaven touches down.

 

Like the autumn leaves,

whisked away by a gentle breeze,

before it can touch the ground.

 

Love is never lost or gone,

for in our hearts it stays.

 

Close to the surface,

it slumbers near,

to return another day.

 

Take heart in this, and note it well,

love in this world abound.

 

We live to love and die to share,

with those we lost in years gone by,

the life they were denied.

 

So listen well and heed these words,

your heart has room for more.

 

When the mourning is done

and a new life’s begun,

Love will find you … once more.

Author's Note

I hope I did justice to this poem and that it serves to bring comfort to all those who has lost a loved one. It is the first poem I have done that has very little to no rhyme scheme and hopefully the flow and rhythm are not too awkward.

I personally love poems without a rhyme scheme. That is the way I tend to write them anyway, but not always.

For some reason the lines, "So listen well and heed these words, your heart has room for more," socked me right in the feels.

I am trying to break my "perfectionist" ways and force myself to accept that not all things in life has fixed rules and guidelines or work out the way we want.

Thank you for taking the time to read :)

I'm glad it had an impact. I don't know so much about the wisdom, just experience... We all face similar trials in life at some point or another and being able to learn from it is a blessing as it makes our lives that much richer. With understanding, comes peace.
