Healing Broken Hearts Poem by Daniel Brick

Healing Broken Hearts

Rating: 5.0


Dear friend, it is better to have
a heart broken than lost.
A broken heart still occupies
its niche in your breast, and casts
its broken light over body and soul.
That light, however imperfect, still
ensures each day's beauty, and beauty
will attract beauty again and again.

Let's sit for a while on the wood chips
ringing this leafless maple tree,
its branches wintry gray, no sap
bringing new life. It is enough
for now, until April rains descend
and release the green energy
locked in the ground, and earth blooms.

Antaeus-like, we will touch the earth,
and draw her strength within. All four hands
palming the earth, we will look deeply
into each other's eyes, and find
the true dimensions of Love.

Hey, Daniel! Back to seeing if you’ve posted new poems and glad to find some. On this one, particularly what you say in the first stanza, with broken hearts at least we’re feeling and know we have a pulse. Is there poignancy without pain? -Glen

Broken heart is like a maple tree of winter, its branches without leaves, no sap bringing new life- - but the April rain will surely bring new blooms - -Such a beautiful poem, , thanks for sharing.

When a heart breaks and it it is lost this is so sad really. A broken heart can be healed with much care and love. Light of beauty of day motivates mind and revives the dignity. Having true dimension of love we can have true meaning to life. An excellent poem is very well penned.10
