Hope
is a silver lining
This hope
is tarnished
chipped, cracked
beaten and bruised to the bone
A heart lay bare
Passion drowned in ice
Dead ice
Where is the heat? the fire?
Naught but a spark lies hidden here
too weak to reach out
lost in the darkness
A heart lay bare
Bare to the world
to the elements
to loneliness
starvation
suffocation
Bare to a breath
Breath of Life, breathe
breathe
please
breathe
Birth Your fire from an ember
Engulfing, smoldering fire
Passion ignited
tender and enigmatic
as the One who caresses
this heart's ice world
into pure, flowing water
In a breath
death is overthrown
and love lures the lost
Breath of Life, breathe
