If it were my blessing
then I should crave to become
born anew where I could swim in rivers of love
and learn to grace with hugs instead of knives.
To have eyes afresh with vision
able to look so piercingly into the night
that shadows every heart,
bringing it a candle
for seeing where they had stumbled.
Most of all to have a new heart
one that was not constantly broken and bleeding,
caring and savoring each moment
while another's arms reached for mine
truly savoring the gift
of each new beat.

Thank you for entering my very first contest on allpoetry!
I have to say that I do actually rather like this- I shouldn't be surprised, I suppose!
The message in here is so clear- yes, wouldn't it be lovely to live a life without pain.
Perhaps unattainable- who knows?
Best of luck in the contest. -
