Beyond Gloom of Grey

BEYOND GLOOM OF GREY 

A time came unheralded in my life when
Writhing in the crushing clutches of suffering
My heart broke and bled in pining pain
Found no comforting arms near to cling. 

I took a plunge in the dense and dark sea of agony
Tried to swim across to the calming shore not in sight
Someone from within told me to try detached and see 
Hope rise like sun in the day that dawns after the night.

My broken heart morphed into a bird, grew wing
And flew in freedom over the hill and far away
To a garden of rose blooming in the sparkle of spring
Under the azure sky emerging from the gloom of grey. 

In ethereal scented solitude I sensed in my core
The essence of my soul opening the petals of peace
Tranquil ecstasy then started to cascade and pour
In my serene mind the florid shower of bliss. 

Let the broken heart get the wings, fly free
Flowers in the debris of despair you’ll see.
