Summer

Summer

A Poem by Lillian Kirsch
"

"Some thoughts on love and it's ability to renew life."

"
There is pain
Tucked on the insides of my fragile heart
It's a shy critter
Peaking open it's lonely eyes
To cast it's gaze at something beautiful
Something strong
And gentle
And sweet
And all of a sudden
The lonely heart opens up to a new spring
Cradled in the hands of that woman who looks like Summer

Perhaps it's okay
For this heart to be soft
So long as it's her hands holding it
So long as it's her
