Spring

Deep within her soul she felt the longing

for the embodied life she lost the way to

His poem awakened within her the spring of her tears

that connected her to the underground river of her soul

His love awakened places in her so long dead

or sealed tightly shut

by the killing forces within and around her

And with his words she smelt the scent of

the blossoms of spring freshly fallen on the ground

awakened to life by a soft rain shower

that fed moisture to the barren earth

of her hungering body.
