A Heart's Dream

A Heart's Dream


A fractured heart, like an abandoned pot,
patiently waiting in fading sunbeams.
What time has overlooked, without a thought:
a broken heart still remembers its dreams.

Patiently waiting in fading sunbeams,
the remembered warmth of love that has gone
in my reverie still sparkles and gleams.
With anticipation I wait the new dawn.

What time has overlooked, without a thought,
are the seeds that remain at the flower's demise.
Sheltered and nurtured until they are brought
out in their glory with the new sunrise.

A broken heart still remembers its dreams.
Through lonely landscapes, hope remains alive.
Like a mirage, life is not what it seems.
With time as a balm, love can grow and thrive.
