Roots

The poet's heart, with roots in pain Finds fertile soil to to grow the soul Through sorrow’s tears; a deeper plane Perspective gleaned from rough terrain See diamond hues where most find coal The poet's heart, with roots in pain In wrestled thoughts moored near insane A shadowed bloom that hurt unfolds Through sorrow’s tears; a deeper plane Dark blossoms spawned from opened veins Bend toward the truth with keen control The poet's heart, with roots in pain The beauty viewed through fissured panes Reflect a path that’s scarcely strolled Through sorrow’s tears; a deeper plane Those few who delve, find realms - arcane Kaleidoscopes of wounds extolled The poet's heart, with roots in pain Through sorrow’s tears; a deeper plane
