Emotional Poetry: White Lilies
by Liam
As pain heals, in time it will diminish
Give it time to melt
In slow wet drops from the heart
Moistening the ground upon which I stand
Preparing my dry barren anguish
To again recognize
Receive new seeds of hope
Sorrow, like sadness too
Will evaporate in the course of given time
Tiny molecules of memory will be blown away
Into the rolling of the days and nights to come
Be done with it, for the wheel of life
Rolls faster than the thoughts which create it
Rolls slower when memories which bind it
Burden it with the hard freeze of pain
I’m jammed, crammed, captured and cold
Caught in time, rolling with the punches
Limited with my abilities
Still it’s all in motion
Motion to movement to my own slow gain
Recovering from my inability to defrost
Still in slow wet melt
I see again
Without the canvas of my defeat shoved hard into my face
It’s in the distance now
There, far off on the verge of my recognition
White lilies grow
Calling quietly, whispering that it’s over
Healing, to plant, grow and recover the warmth again
Hold the peace again
Feel the love
Leave the Pain.
