Musings of a Wordsmith - 14. Barren Landscape

Another 'chapter' of dealing with intense periods of life, Poetherapy full ahead!

After the struggle is finally over,
all I see right before my eyes
is scorched land.

Looking forward, though,
I am most definitely certain,
this barren landscape around
is but life just waiting
to happen.

After love is gone, all that remains
is memories and heartache,
a barren heart which I know well,
a barren heart which is not dead,
but recovering, resting, healing.

When the heartache finally subsides,
I am most definitely certain,
this once barren heart of mine
will be but love just waiting to happen
once more.

And new green shoots green the landscape, challenging us to remember when it was otherwise. I really liked the images you evoke here.

Thank you, Parker. Sometimes I guess I write just to remind myself it does get better!!!!

This almost has a biblical read to it: a spring in the desert. Yes, where hope remains, love still has a chance to nourish others

Thanks for your comment, AC, it gives a new insight into the poem: never thought of the Bible when writing.
