LOVE CAN TRY AGAIN


LOVE CAN TRY AGAIN

A look, a kind word, a nervous smile
can fill the vacant heart emptied of love
gone bad. It can salvage from the offal heap
that offbeat pulsing grayness, the dazzling shine
a barrage of trenchant remarks snuffed out.
The heart can bravely try again. It can allow
new life to permeate a sagging hollowness.
Love can lift one’s head from abashment to
beaming pride. It can grace the lonely
and read into hope a bright awakening.

  1. thanks for playing the wordle Sal :)

    you've done a wonderful thing here, with such a mixed and odd, not to mention challenging series of words - but you've written something that offers hope, light and hope, in love - which given the words? Actually, this is a miracle in itself - so well done. And I particularly like the last line's sentiment - the word "grace" is lingering in my head.

    And it's my pleasure to stop in and comment :)
