Sunshine

Now my pains have no place to play And nothing left for them to do

Rebecca 

 

You consoled my worn soul

 lifting me to my feet

A noble heart of kindness

dealt Purgatory defeat

I found the nightmares fading

 as the new thoughts took their place

Washing out the poison 

that so long had filled that space

 

That smile faded my sadness

 with sweet thoughts I had of you

As pains found no place to play

and nothing for them to do

Outstanding choices and arrangments of your magical words poured from your creative mind. I like this one very much. I was thinking of my wife when I read it.

A lovely tribute, Tate. I particularly enjoyed the closing thought, "Now my pains have no place to play and nothing left for them to do." Love that lasts is never daunted by the trials we inevitably encounter, rather it is reborn anew like the Phoenix.

This one is so great... One of your best... Yeah Love's that peaceful wispy power that can light up the darkness... Love's an emperor of peace.
Your words warmed my heart. Really, they were like a throbbing inside my chest. So emotional, so authentic, so beautiful... That's so romantic and sweet to find someone who can wash your sadness and pains all away...

Love has the power to destroy as well as heal .. and it seems that you have experienced both .. congrats for 'coming back to life' dear :)
