An anguished heart
That knows not
The subtle difference
Between breaking free
And letting go....
Wanders alone
In the scavenging crowd
Feasted upon and thrown about....
Yet those eyes seek the solace
That I shall never find....
A trick of emotional treason
That I can never devise....
I know not the alchemist's words
That can blow the grey away,
I know not the golden melodies
That still chain your mind.....
All I can bequeath to you
Is a handful of smiling colors....
A tinge of yellow
To brighten your palette,
A patch of blue
To bless your day......
A stroke of green
To enchant your life....
A streak of purple
To decorate your soul.....
A sprinkle of orange
That restores your hope,
Some smudges of pink
That will help you cope.....
And a rainbow of all the colors I know
To enrich your world
With meaning, with peace...
And breathe back a vigor
In your stifled life
A long forgotten, unconscious need.....
While my heart reaches out
To your unsung songs....
While my care fulfils
Your desires untold....
I will take your hands
And secure them in mine
And lead you ahead
To an unsketched herald.....
Where the early skies
Still await your call...
Where true love still
A strong place holds.....
Dedicated...
