will you lift me up
& hold me close
when I fall
like rain
when I can no longer subdue
the raging storms
within my soul?
tears of anguish
transform the landscape of my heart
it has been numb
& barren for ages
I surrender my vulnerable parts
although it pains me profoundly
embracing them in the hope
they will flower into breathtaking blossoms
symbols of hope & light
a beautiful promise
a springtime born of bitter tears
breathing in
the sweet floral perfume
of this garden,
born of suffering
a reminder of the rewards of perseverance & faith
