Ode To A Repentant Heart

Rating: 5.0


Life without shadows, what is a meadow
Without sorrow, what's it to have joy
Sticking close, won't know separation
Can't know the ordeal of having friction

Watching cupped leaves supplicating
Made me aware of my burdened aching
Grace as rain races down muddy beams
Repentant heart is washed sparkling

Eyes wet with tears, bright as green
Glistening raindrops no longer seen
Make me know that storm has cleared
Onward flows life renewed leaves laid

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
No one wants sorrow to enter into a relationship but somehow, the beauty of a relationship is highlighted by the dark moments. This poem is a reminder to us that the 'rain' that comes into our life could prove to be a blessing if we have the right mindset of forgiveness and moving on from what caused the sadness.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Doris Cornago 18 July 2017

The leaves in supplication in the rain showed the poet the right attitude - don't struggle against the deluge, but instead, welcome it. If we look at the same rain in our lives as a freshening of perspectives and relationships, we can also lay out new leaves, forgive the hurt and move on to a stronger relationship.
