Every Heart Deserves to Bloom

-


^!!***!!^^!!***!!^^!!***!!^^!!***!!^^!!***!!^

Above the earth, where restless branches sway,

A mother dove guards life from night and day.

Beneath her wings, her little nestlings sleep,

While silent promises of love she keeps.

^!!

Below, where morning dew adorns the ground,

A crimson rose in quiet grace is found.

Its tender petals kiss the waking air,

While hidden thorns stand guard against despair.

^!!

The mother dove, with gentle eyes, looks down,

And asks the rose beneath the leafy crown:

^!!

"Tell me, dear rose, when winter winds blow cold,

And storms arrive with tales of pain untold,

Do thorns not wound the heart you keep inside?

How do you bloom when tears you cannot hide?"

^!!

The rose sways softly in the morning breeze,

As though it holds the wisdom of the trees.

^!!

"Dear dove, the thorns are not my enemy,

They guard the fragile beauty within me.

For every wound that life may leave behind,

May teach a deeper strength to heart and mind.

^!!

Not every fall means dreams have reached their end,

Nor every broken heart will cease to mend.

A lost love cannot steal life's endless light,

Nor can one failure end tomorrow's flight.

^!!

Some souls walk smiling through the crowded street,

With oceans of unspoken grief beneath.

Some hide their tears where none can ever see,

And carry silent storms so endlessly.

^!!

Some have no voice to tell the world they ache,

Some fear that speaking will bring more heartbreak.

Oh, if you find a soul beneath the sky,

Whose smile seems bright but whose eyes never lie,

^!!

Just ask them gently, 'Are you doing well?'

And give them time their deepest fears to tell.

For sometimes just a hand, a word, a friend,

Can help a broken heart begin to mend.

^!!

And when your own heart trembles with its pain,

Don't lock your sorrow deep within again.

Let tears fall freely, rest when strength is gone,

For even darkest nights give birth to dawn.

^!!

Seek out a hand, let someone share your tears;

There is no shame in speaking of your fears.

And when the weight of life is hard to bear,

Remember, healing often starts with care.

^!!

No shattered dream can measure what you're worth,

No worldly loss can steal your place on earth.

For life is more than victories we claim,

More than possessions, fortune, wealth or fame.

^!!

So cherish every heartbeat, every breath,

For life is precious, far beyond our depth.

And never judge a soul by what you see;

The deepest wounds are often kept silently."

^!!

The mother dove drew closer to her young,

As golden light through trembling branches hung.

She looked again upon the rose below,

And felt a quiet truth begin to grow.

^!!

The thorns still stood, the petals still were bright,

Both held their courage in the morning light.

One sheltered life beneath her feathered wing,

The other taught the wounded heart to sing.

^!!

And as the sun embraced the waking skies,

A timeless truth began to gently rise:

^!!

Be kind, for every heart has storms to weather.

Be there, for we are stronger held together.

Hold close the ones whose smiles conceal their pain,

And never let a soul feel lost again.

^!!

For life may bend us, break our dreams apart,

But hope still blooms within the human heart.

^!!

So, my children, wherever you may roam,

Let love be your shelter, and kindness your home.

Fall, rise, dream, laugh, and live each day anew;

The world is still more beautiful with you.

^!!

And when the evening shadows dim the light,

Remember, dawn is waiting beyond the night.

^!!

For every rose deserves the right to bloom,

Even when its path is edged with thorns.

And every soul deserves the warmth of love,

Even when its world is filled with storms.

^!!***!!^^!!***!!^^!!***!!^^!!***!!^^!!***!!^^!!***!!^^!!

Live, my children... live with courage, compassion and hope. Your presence in this world matters more than you may ever know.-Fourlinegraphia

BEYOND THE WALLS OF DARKNESS

  !!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!! Beyond the stone walls That fortress the kingdom of darkness, There exists a quiet light- The living power of words, Awakening the sleeping soul. !!***!! A knife carries the shadow of violence, A blade shaped by human hands, Never an emblem of liberation. Nor are open eyes, by themselves, The ultimate proof of freedom; True freedom lies much deeper, In the courage to look within. !!***!! And sometimes, closed eyes Behind the dark glass of silence Remind us of a hidden realm: The freedom to imagine and create, To question without intimidation, To speak without fear of the storm. !!***!! Expression is the voice That refuses to fall silent Amid the heaviest chains of oppression- A flame no intolerance can extinguish, A diamond needle of truth Piercing through inherited ignorance. !!***!! Freedom is not merely keeping our eyes open; It is the right to think without permission, To disagree without hatred, To speak without persecution, An...

Threshold of Enough

-
Image
  I do not need to earn the right to breathe, Or fold my flaws to fit another's creed, To win the prize or serve a useful part, To claim the simple quiet of my heart. I am enough, just as my shadows fall, Unvarnished, tender, human through it all. !!***!! Let me look back  the roads I crossed, And thank the heavy winters for the frost, Yet drop the ancient weights I used to bear- The hollow rules, the whispers of despair. The past is holy ground, but not a cage; With clean, untroubled hands, I turn the page. !!***!! No more I wait for validation's sun, Or measure worth by battles lost or won; I love what was, yet loose its binding chain, And shape tomorrow from the calm and rain. !***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!!***!Fourlinegraphia

Do the Flower Gardens Know?

-
Image
  Do the Flower Gardens Know? Do the flower gardens know The pain of a flower,  When the frost bites deep, and the petals curl, Do the roots beneath feel the shiver of the world? Does the earth itself mourn the broken stem, Or is it just the passing of a delicate gem? What do the veins know, the veins of the stem sing. Beyond the pulse, beyond the crimson flow, A hidden rhythm, only they truly know. Of long-held memories, of joy and of fear, Whispers of lifetimes, held ever so near. The silent currents of life's intricate art, A wisdom residing deep within the heart. The flowers bloom and again bloom, The flutes of the reed bamboo sing. A symphony of green, a vibrant, soft sound, As sunlight descends on hallowed ground. But not seeing the heart of the garden, I planted a rose Barbra Streisand bush,  For a yearning I held, a vision untrue, Seeking a beauty I thought only it knew. The tears fell and the honey blossoms bloomed in a single flower. A sweet defiance in that mo...

Golden Dreams Beyond the Quiet Rain

-
Image
  Even when I close my eyes, Golden dreams remain; Even when I open them, They shimmer through the quiet rain. *** Amid the rolling hills of green, Where ancient stones convene, My heart still wanders down that lane, Through every cherished scene. *** Once, beneath a flowering tree, I waited, longing for you to appear; Unseen by all, you climbed its boughs, And scattered blossoms through the air. Like a shower of petals, soft and free, They fell beneath the whispering trees. *** Beneath the silver moon, on a golden holiday night, I swayed upon the swinging vine in the fading light. You pushed me from behind, your laughter wild and free, Then tumbled me into the grass-a moment still with me. *** At the edge of the quiet field, where the chapel bells rang low, Your anklets chimed like silver streams as you danced to and fro. You tossed a sacred blossom, then beckoned with a smile; And standing there before you, my heart trembled all the while. *** Though thatched-roof homes have vani...

The Scalpel of Truth

-
Image
  I do not speak of love’s false art, That wraps its warmth around the heart. For love, in its deceptive guise, Can blind the soul and veil the eyes. In shadows where true hearts often hide, I carve my lessons—sharp and wide. Not tender words that softly mend, But truths that break, that burn, that bend. My voice is the mirror’s glare, Unveiling all that’s false and fair. A brutal honesty, unkind, To free the spirit trapped and blind. I ask with compassion, clear and bare: If you can give, then lay it there. No hollow words, no empty plea— Just honest act: what’s yours, set free. If not, speak no false refrain, No need to wear the guise of pain. Say “no” with strength, with truth intact— For silence too can be the act. Anger, likes, and dislikes—vain, I do not bow to their brief reign. They are but shadows, passing storms, Illusions that distract and deform. My words are lessons, fierce and stark— To strip the mask, ignite the dark. To cut away the false and vain, And find the core...

Before I Return to the Earth

-
Image
My emotions fell silent years ago, Like rivers that forgot where they should flow. No resurrection do I wait to see, Just thoughts that never set me free. *** The mind still speaks, the burdens stay, While time steals another day. My hair turns grey, my strength may fade, And life moves on, as all things must. *** I know my days are not my own, No soul can claim time as a throne. So before I turn to dust once more, I ask what I was living for. *** Must I exist for myself alone? Chase fleeting dreams and call them home? Or can I give, before I depart, Something that matters beyond my heart? *** I seek no crown, no immortal name, No worldly praise, no lasting fame. I seek a path that does no harm, A truth that holds, a purpose calm. *** If Nature speaks, I wish to hear; If Earth needs care, I wish to be near. If God has woven a greater design, Let my purpose somehow align. *** I have weighed the truth, the wrong, the right, Through endless thought and sleepless night. I stand with courag...

The Shivering Language

-
Image
Even without knowing any language, this one speaks to my soul — it is my own and you The wind bites sharp, a sudden, piercing chill, And in that snap, our trembling muscles thrill. No matter where we stand, in sun or shade, A tiny tremor, subtly played, a whisper made Of heat desired, a primal, urgent plea, To guard the core, for all the world to see Our goosebump-flesh, a landscape raised and cold, A story ancient, endlessly retold. We are shivering, though the reason may not be The frost that nips the branches of a tree. Perhaps a sudden fright, a whispered fear, A shadow falling, drawing danger near. A primal jolt that tightens every nerve, A warning bell, a promise to preserve. The fight or flight, a rush of pounding grace, Reflected outward, trembling in its place. We are shivering, when a thrill takes hold, A story whispered, brave and fiercely bold. The rush of joy, a victory hard-won, A burst of feeling, bright as morning sun. Anticipation, sweet and sharp and keen, Before the ...

Fire and Sun

  I didn’t come here to soften your edges or drape a shawl over your sharp words. I came to stand where the fire of my own lungs meets the wind of the world. I am not a shadow cast by your doubt, nor a whisper held captive by fear. My body remembers how to rise from storms, how to plant roots in rebellion, how to claim a space that no one can auction off. You can hiss, you can snap, build walls as high as castles- but I am the storm that refuses to break, the earth that stands rooted and unshaken.   My laughter is a riot of colors, my dreams, a woven chain of stars I own. No, I will not dim my light for approval- I am the sun, and I burn for myself alone. We are not mirrors for your approval, not ornaments for your gaze. The curve of our spines, the tilt of our heads, the flare of our laughter- belongs to us alone. We will not apologize for joy, for the tremble of our hands in triumph, for the song that spills from our throats without permission. If I ever hold a daughter...

In Your Silence, I Reside

-
Image
I’ve learned to read the space you leave, The quiet hollows where words used to breathe. Your silence, a language I come to know- Not just absence, but the depths you show.   You walk away, and I stand still, Listening for echoes I can’t will. My tears fall softly, unspoken, unseen, Waiting for a voice that might have been.   You think strength is hiding away, But silence can be a storm in disarray. It’s the crack in the armor, the fragile break, The silent ache you choose not to fake.   When I cry, I need your hand- Not silence, not a distant stand. Love isn’t quiet when it’s true, It’s the voice that reaches, the care that’s due.   And now I see, I must reclaim, My heart’s own voice, my healing flame. I’ll build anew from what was lost, No door left open for the cost.   You may walk away, convinced you’re free, But in silence, I hold the key. For I’ve learned that love’s true art- Is knowing when to heal, and when to part.   ...
