The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you ~ Rumi
Pouring forth from the light in her eyes, I see my heart spilling salty tears – they glisten, then subside. Where she’s been, my heart can only imagine. She’s still here, but her heart is fully confounded. Her dreams have become much more than just old baggage. Her light has been stunned by the temptation to just let go of her hope and crawl into some bottle or into some drug. She is wise, though. Wiser than they give her credit for. I can see, in her eyes, the reflection of a story brought to life through hope. Hope for a purpose. Hope for a new dawn. Hope that leaves her victorious, even when all her fight has gone. Pouring forth from the light in her, I see the wonder of a love more alive than I’ve ever known. This is the love only God could have replicated inside of her.
story of a heart
songs twisted into lessons,
breathing spirit beats
