Tormented Heart

        An overwhelming sadness
                        bows  to a cloudy
                           chrysanthemum.
                    The joy of a shattered  dream
                       is far better than a sparkling
                                 flowery desert.
                         The  forbearing sky
                             weaves its bliss 
                            into an ecstatic, rambling
                                     rose.
                          In the darkest nights
                             of summer a dreamlike
                                rapture spelling 
                                   the ruined star.
                                                        
                             Oh, dear tormented heart
                                       your purity,  innocence
                                   is a sunny l green
                               flowering daisy  embraces
                                 the light of diamond                       
                                   God;s grace ,love and hope will prevail.
