Numbing Heartache

A Poem by

Love compared to nature and the coldness...

I rested on the fallen tree,
half submerged beyond and under
the water.

It had shriveled, with part of its bark,
floating away in slow death.

Once it was, as the water,
strong beautiful and giving so much to all.

The cool water felt good and tingled against
my toes,
a new wonderful feeling, like Love.

Suddenly the wind picked up in anger,
it slapped my face with a lasting sting.

The fallen tree gave more of its bark,
to the now hard rush of waves.

The sun hid from the pain and hurt,
the glittering shine had disappeared.

Love had started so beautifully,
Now ended in a cold numbing heartache...
