This heart,
burried in the soil, wet
with tears of ages, wept
for grief
and guilt, laden
now upon hearts who
strive
to descend in
hope,
just as this hallowed body,
buried
beside their very
love
that drove them on.
This is hope.This place.
This broken place.
This garden.
This place so full of
ugliness.
Ugliness that
now
cannot compare to the
beauty,
which now
consumes,
for its
touch. Its Sacred
touch.
These hands that
touched
this brokeness now
redeemed
by love.
This love,
this love that
died
This love that
dies.
This death that
dies
for love that
abides.
This life that
rises
from
this pain
this brokenness.
This earth which
holds
close the
tears
holds close the
fears.
This heart.
This heart now
breathes
deep peace
through greatest
horrors
through death
where now there is no
sting.
This heart.
This heart that
abides.
This heart that
survived
and whispers
through our soul's darkest
nights
be still.
Together buried,
this heart and night.

WOW. (!!!!) THE RHYTHM AND WORDS ARE SO GOOD. Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, LOVE this!!! <3
Additional comment: Each time I read this (four times in total) it's as if I've never read this before--as if it is new. And at one time, I could relate. :) But the rhythm is stunning and the words strking; powerful. I cherish every word - really I do.
