Blocks

When I awaken again

To the blocks in my heart

That kept us apart

It seems as though a nightmare kept me prisoner

It was shadows in my mind

All falling behind me now

That obscured the truth

From view

And since we have both suffered all of this loss

I see more clearly the dreadful cost

Of holding onto past resentments

For this each moment remaining in this life

Is a gift

Freely given to us each day

A chance to clean the wreckage away

That obscures love

Keeping us so very far

From touching and knowing

The hidden secrets

Of each other’s aching hearts
