Love's Garden Sown
by
Kelly Kirkpatrick
Hopes
and dreams reduced to dust ~ strewn, nomadic spore...
orphaned
spawn of shattered trust and love that is no more.
Seed
of what was meant to be but died upon the vine...
remnants
of the part of me in bloom when he was mine.
Borne
upon the wings of time and scattered to the winds,
may
each in hearts apart from mine find fertile soil again.
Drinking
deep from waters pure instead of bitter tears...
rooted
well, therein secure, sustained by passing years.
And
in each heart a seed implants, may the soil be tilled ~
may
its flower of romance therein a life fulfill.
Let
the fruit that from its bloom is brought forth in due course ~
ripen
full with passing time and suffer not remorse.
Love's
tender shoots, protected well by gentle, caring hands
can
withstand the fires of hell that sear the heart of man..
Guide
their growth and stay them not until they bring forth flower ~
spare
them the decline and rot comprising Satan's power.
Stake
them true against the storms the sea of life may bring;
keep
their tendrils safe from harm in these and in all things.
Let
not failures such as mine your garden wilt nor blight ~
tend
it well and it in kind will flourish in your light.
The
Light that heals a darkened heart and breathes for wounded souls;
the
Light that God to man imparts and renders spirits whole.
In
your garden find retreat ~ oasis from your fears,
in
its fruits, full ripe and sweet, find succor through the years.
And
as the colors of life's dawn give way unto the night,
forever
may its bloom live on wherever it finds light...
in
earthly lives that here remain when you have journeyed on ~
by
your garden's love sustained, inspired to soldier on.
Generations
yet to come shall know the fragrance sweet
of
its blossoms, every one, and drink their nectar sweet.
When
the angels take your hand and draw you to God nigh,
may
the ground on which you stand, beheld with fading eye,
be
that by love's garden sown when we were torn apart ~
progeny
of what once bloomed in my now grieving heart.
For
even when the petals fade before they find full bloom,
'tis
still from these in life that's made the sweetest of perfumes.
