Allows cactus to grow in lonely spot

He wraps
His words
In flowers
And tenderness
That they might
Come to rest
Gently
In her heart,
Thereby speaking
The unspeakable.
Their sweetness
Lingers long
After 
They are whispered,
Sustaining her
Until that time...

Never questioning the why
Ever looking for the hope that drives the will

With unshakable determination my struggle I will face
Bound by sustaining faith and vested with the strength of

When my heart will again whole
I won't really know
I don't need more pain
For my love to sustain

For someone to be mine
A man who knows what love is
And wants me to be his
To stay true to only me
Is who I want to see...

Tune of trees, a rustling fife.

Raindrops falling into streams,
Purity of nature sustaining life.

Music in the mountains,
Symphony of echoing instruments.

Water in the forested fountains,
Sound of nature bonding elements....
