The goodness of the heart, the beauty of candor,
The vibrance of a first sensation, the piety of valor!
Hard to explain, to put in black & white,
How beautiful it is, that seemingly perennial light!!
Lost in a warm embrace, comforted by a natural sigh,
From zero to two hundred in sixty seconds, a nerve -wracking high!
She waded through waterfalls and shone through fire,
She held it too close, at the precipice, on the pier!!
An avalanche of bliss was so very close in sight,
Nothing could possibly derail the joy, it felt so right!
And then it hit harshly, out of the blue,
All colors were dimmed, blackened was the dew!!
It numbed her, paralyzed her heart, through & through,
For no words could describe her emotions' painful view!
Heartbreak hurts but there was more to her agony,
All seemed lost, hope, desire, love and sanctuary!!
Tumultuous was the hour, no wings to fly,
Gloom and doom seemed paramount, temperament wry!
But she was strong and so were those around,
A symphony of love, from an omni-present circle of friends!!
They were there, when all was over or so it seemed,
For light can be found even in darkness, just got to catch the beam!
And that is what she did, saw beyond the dreary,
Believing good times will be back, will re-arrive her old fairy!!
Life is cruel, it strikes where it stings the most,
Pain and ecstasy & rain and drought share the same roots!
It is through trials that true perseverence sparkles,
Laughter emanates from tears, and tears from laughter, a dynamic crackle!!
With endless moroseness, came endless opportunity.
She began the journey anew, started afresh through life's paucity!
With dreams yet unrealized and loved ones with whom to win the battle,
She reached the skies; no doubt, fear or tears on her mantle!!!!
