~ A Sacred Gain ~

How to say that 
a calm vision flashes again 
How to convey, solemn serenity
descends to ease the pain
How to stop the love 
that wishes to explain
How to express that the heart
beats in memories enchained

How to convince that a
peaceful presence remains
How to relate the tenderness
felt so deep in the domains
How to connect the eternal loss
that  good health claims ?

Some hand held close the sweet
scent till it rose till waves were calm
warm was the coat and the palm
till darkness engulfed the misty heat

the clasp unclasped letting go
slowly sinking to the sandy floor
love's hope fell, held no more 
You too say? like all before?

So sank the precious rose 
like a heart of hope but not 
of Faith as deep and vast as
the seas and oceans eternal,pure'

Let me just believe then
that it is fear of the sharp thorn

the sweet scent is but a refrain -

life’s safe lodging is but torn

where once  life itself was born

floating abandoned in dangers deep

Faith  guides to safer havens to keep

 unseen love ever holds the hand

lifts up the tender  petals to higher land

 remember if once love comes your way

have faith accept and hold, make it stay

 patience and peace will reign....

Because.....

there is always a personal loss

where once there was  a sacred gain
