The Glass Rose

So delicate Just as our lives exist Fragile we are But we still persist Hearts broken Like the tides recede Broken waves In deep concede Emotions in stir Lives upside down Torn between Relationship drowns Day to day As the hurting grows We become as fragile as The glass rose http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life-5.php

Great way to put this topic very creative. Our emotions on our sleeve so to speak. Keep the creative, expressive, and magical pen flowing. Sara

Yes, we do. It is hard to trust when the heart has been broken and you have to go on a journey whose goal is your healing, bu the fact that we persist also testify to our strength. A great poem, James, well written. Thanks for sharing, Caroline.
