Sequence-Once Burnt

Can
time
assuage
broken hearts-
and ignite
passion
once
more
or
will
despair
overwhelm
forever,
stifling-
love's
flame

Great form, great age-old question! I should like to think the heart can, and evenutally would, recover. Carrie

A beautiful Fibonacci with a question to ponder. I suppose it depends on how deep the wounds are, however I remain optimistic and hopeful that time shall heal. Love, Shar

This is beautiful, Brian, in both form and sentiment. I believe it can. With time, we heal. With Christ in your heart there is always love there and it is easy to love. Great write, Brian
