Splinters of seconds lived
lace around the heartbeat
from the moments when hope and serenity
thrived as thickets of purest scent
rising as splendor within the soul,
by breathless blink
at morning's retrospective wilderness,
nostalgia's willows wrap
their spell around the spirit,
its branches bending into the mind,
caressing with numbing strokes o elation
as reflection's dawning star
pierces the spreading limbs of euphoria.
Silence serves as choirmaster of tranquility's symphony,
home becomes the light of transcendence's day,
while the woods grow so intently inward
out of inner healings seeds,
living in the eyes of tomorrow,
forgiveness's paradise found
among the bygone landscapes dreamed and touched.
