Please Come Out Poem by Ruth L. Rivers

Oh heart...Where are you?
Come out of hiding dear one,
Come out into the shine of the sun
And the warmth of friends
Remember why you live
Why love won't end.
Dear heart...Why so blue?
Time does damage unseen
Time does not forgive nor weep
And keeps hours alone
So take the steps onward
Remember some home.
My heart...When can you?
Feel the pulse of laughter,
Feel the giddy joy-song after
And breaths firm grasp
Help the stairs to be climbed
Each foot finds the one after.
Kind heart...Who can see?
The ache in finding hope
The ache in lasting alone
And to trust wisely
Though each desire wants more
Waite with us, ..time and me.
Poor heart...Where in life?
Did you find loves promise
Did you keep dreams of one kiss
And the fairy tales
There's life to be added
Explore some more, set your sails!
