Mirth and Grace

“Caress the broken heart with threads of muted sound”, 
Let it rejoice for the tranquil it has found, 
Take the wheels of its night sojourn, 
Bring it to the daylight region. 

Sing to the broken heart a symphony of hope, 
Lift it from the downward slope, 
Massage its wounds with a healing balm,
Still the tempest and bring it to calm. 

Bind the broken heart with cords of joy, 
None of these will any time cloy, 
Let it rise from the gloom,
And come to a bloom room. 

Broken hearts don't see the light, 
It’s hedged from their sight,
They yearn for a soothing embrace, 
From hearts pervaded with mirth and grace.
