The Fall
Heart falls–glass vase. . . down
Droplets and shards splay with force
Dreams, with them, splatter.
The Ache
Heart aches–lost in gloom
Dull and flat to spite the sun
Hopes, defied and slain.
The Hardening
Heart hardens–dark shroud
Surrounds, squeezes, tender shoot
Shriveled, left to die.
The Gasp
Heart gasps–reflexive,
Violently as from sleep
Final thrust for life.
The Cry
Heart cries–help me, please–
Sobs deeply heaving, need dire;
Light enters, here, now.
The Nurturing
Heart heals–sunrise warms,
Kissing snowdrops, melt to tears
warming buds unfurl.
The Restoration
Heart rejoices–Grace is!
Joy and life fill broken heart
Carry on to love.

DPchallenge this week, to write five Haiku (or more) about anything. I choose to write this series, a journey of grace.
