GRATITUDE

Gratitude

Thank you
for the tears
that fall, drowning
the thought of lost desire.

I cherish each one
that sweeps away the
sound of gentle words,
borne to blur the brilliance
of kind smiles, and wash
the debris of loneliness from
every dark corner of my foolish
whim.

So many moments in life are
meant to be so, destined to guide our
steps, test our hearts and strengthen
our souls,

Bruises, dents, blemishes and wounds
that only tears can erase and the passing
of time turn to sweet memory.
