Hymn of the Heart
Hear these hibiscus hymns” humbly pour out,
A string of verses to dispel dark doubts;
Across the open pages, they unfurl,
A sad searing summer's song for the world.
The stanzas display vibrant rhythms deep,
Secrets that sharp shadows of the night keep,
With trenchant, tearing thorns greeting the face
Spreading across the sands of time and space.
A single word, a wholesome whispered plea,
Unlocks the vault of distant memory;
A silent scene spreads out, a vibrant hue,
A glaring truth revealed, both fresh and true.
The poet's soul sustains a slim, slender string,
Where hidden joys and sullen sorrows sing;
It opens up, a fragile floral bloom
To banish shadows, chase the greyish gloom.
The hymns hum “the song my soul never seeks”,
In sensitive rhythms that to the heart speaks,
Each verse unfurling a distressed prayer
Blown in the air like unhappy whisper.
They vibrate “the chorus a poet bleeds”,
Unable to sustain his daily needs,
A roaring resonance that understands,
Fragility of hearts in distant lands.
The chorus swells and swells, a gentle tide,
Where gleams of empathy can now reside;
It stands so delicate in sunlit rays,
Lost in the midst of nature's golden haze.
It speaks of fateful loss, of love's sweet sting,
The heart, a shattered mirror that don`t cling,
The hopes it dearly cherished, lost and gone,
The day`s journey it has to tread alone.
But in that bleeding, seams of strength are found,
A fertile, consecrated lowly ground,
Where signs of letting go begin to glow
And seeds of solace slowly start to grow.
So let us listen close, when winds are mild,
To nature's solemn song, so sweet and wild,
Hear these holy hibiscus hymns gush out
Deep feelings that dispel the mist of doubt.
