Let Love In

The sun rises and falls in your heart.

I wait patiently for you to come out of the dark.

To feel its warmth surround your heart.

Reminding you of love’s everlastingness.

Let your hurt go. Walk away from it……

Don’t wear it like a heavy coat,

making you feel too hot in summer

and too alone in winter.

Keeping your true self hidden from sight.

Treating love like a ticking bomb

You think you have to run away from.

Its brightness frightens you.

You question how something so good could

belong to you.

Walking by your side.

You tried it before

And your heart got burned.

You stopped its clock from ticking.

To numb and deaden the pain.

But it’s bursting to get out of the rainstorm

you have created.

By trying not to feel,

love.

Go on take a chance

and let love back in.

Let its warmth dissolve your pain.

Put yourself in its frame

and feel complete again.

Old roads need never to be walked along again.

Follow this new road that love has opened

up before you.

Like crisp mountain air filling your cells with

oxygen.

Breathe love in and enjoy the excitement

& joy this brings.
