The Wonder of Pain

What my heart wants can never be.
This life of wonder is a beautiful mystery.
The pain of knowing through intimate talk.
Forces intense pain of separation as I walk.
I bow my head in sorrow as my breaking heart cries.
Imbued with intuition of feeling unwanted, as I try.
I must search deep into my heart’s wary soul.
To face the painful truth, embrace it, to make me whole.
I will wander onward looking for my soul mate of life.
Once found I will lay my head down in love as his wife.
This is only natural for the wonderful woman in me.
Beautiful as lovely flowers this intimacy, shared, I am free.
