Question of the heart

By: Dawn L Basham

She feels the full force of the storm
raging in her tortured mind
crashing against the walls built
shattering emotions held inside

Deeply wounded once before
with pretty words and flowers
does time really heal
or close the heart forever

The strength she had is far gone
the answer is now the question
give in to fear or take the chance
on faith, love and trusting

Falling down on trembling knees
she raises her hands to heaven
praying for a guiding touch
leading her heart back to loving
