Strange Thing

strange thing love, 
even in the darkest of depths,
in an instant it grows,
bringing forth light to this dark scarred heart,
there it grows so fragile,
trying to bloom on nothing but the light it emities,
yet long after the wilted flower has but faded away,
tears water the roots every day,
 in hope that light will return to this darkness

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
