Open Armed

Layin down this heavy sword for a spell, Dropping these rusty gauntlets of shame. A shadow cast thought I knew so well., Layin down this heavy sword for a spell. Open arms long for hugs, but who can tell.. Love left a heart broken yet whole again. Layin down this heavy sword for a spell, Dropping these rusty gauntlets of shame.

This triolet speaks volumes to me dear Quoth. The fact that you are whole again means that you can be a writer of golden quill, and you are, stay true to yourself, brilliant moth, :)

Aysha, Thank you and welcome to PoetrySoup. Very rare to meet one that carries a spcial name meaning "prosperous" or "alive and well". I wish both for you. -Richard

Sara, Thank you for that. Just a hope to disarm and try to welcome all with open ones. -Richard
