Recovery
February 15, 2013
Do the trees not die then blossom?
Do the crops not perish then sprout?
Can the clouds not bring forth weeping, following drought ?
Can a heart that's been made ashes,
That's been thoroughly scorched,
Be brought to life by fire , in which it was burned?
Can a heavy weighing burden, bearing on your soul,
Be the hands that mold you & make you whole?
So if asked of your content, could you tell with extent, how falling off the ledge has made you soar?
