Will Love Come Today
Passing sunsets are constant reminders
To the evanescence of existence
Dazzled before, my heart now wears blinders
Mindfully leery of love's redolence
Lonely and sad in harbored seclusion
Cognizant of pain love hides behind her
But faith bears hope for fate's blind intrusion
Love will eventually show her hands
With room in my heart for love to reside
And ample space for new warmth to flourish
Malice departed, pain slowly subsides
Forthcoming a new babe to be nourished
Sunrise enlightens dawn of each new day
Revitalizing a good heart betrayed
