Rise Out of the Ashes

Rise Out Of The Ashes Filled with apprehension the heart pleaded for sympathy Eyes desperately focused beyond normality seeks a sign When anguish mount while darkness insists on lingering Do we deserve sheer punishment for misjudging gloom? At times love misinterprets emotional ache as an excuse Must it lay silently underground until it freezes for good? If even just one promise attains autonomy from disarray Plant a kiss, a subtle embrace, and rise out of the ashes! 11:33 A.M. 11/22/2022 Aboard cruise ship: Rhapsody of the Seas Chania, Greece

I've taken your advice. Started planting Hershey kisses in my garden this afternoon. Gotta keep my resolution to eat chocolate every day. It's a tough one, but someone's gotta do it! lol.

It is great to see your poems after a while Anselmo ! Love should be expressed and shouldn't let it freeze underground. An embrace or kiss can make one rise from the ashes ! Well said dear friend !
