She gathers love in a bottle
sprinkles it on the lonely.
She wanders the world
capturing crushed hearts
to repair them.
She bears hope in a tin,
scatters it high in the sky.
It catches the wind
dispersing belief and aspiration
to those who despair.
She roams red hot deserts
with a glass full of happiness.
She sails across silent seas
to settle within the hearts
of those who pause to listen.
Wow, Maire. I really love this one. It speaks to me. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind but I would like to keep a copy of this by my bed. :)
