the space between
…in the space
between anguish and joy
a fluttering softness
remains
a quiet voice of one lost
—in rending of heart—
but a delicate bloom
that will not
fade
out of reach
now
until sought
it holds, steadfast, to the moments
of cherished peace
when all was well and good and
perfect
and it will remain
as heartache compounds
and the wail of
agony resounds
it will remain
and someday,
it WILL
lift heart
again.
