Dawn's Surprise.

Swelling hearts, rooting
into equaled promises,
and hope abounds in awe.

But, shadows
grow from every element ,
which fades some of the benefits;

and accentuating others
until doubt creeps into the truth and holds them hostage,
erasing all the hope that's blooming in the wind.

But, heaving hearts
still find solace sliced
into each other, together.

Love's light grows in their eyes
with no expectations,
until the shadows fade into the past.

Swelling hearts
so beautiful the music in the yield,
like springtime in the woods at dawn's surprise.

It was a story of love's ability to perservere....

...and champion on, to blossom....."IF", it can survive the early doubts, and bouts of insecurity, and dishonesty. Oh well, thank-you...Antoinette...for reading AND commenting. "Write on"! sincerely, #{:-{)}8==== docmaverick.

But, heaving hearts still

But, heaving hearts still find solace sliced into each other, together. ''dawn'', new begginings and as the sun rises bringing shadow to warmth, hence doubt....to be exstinguished by the setting of the sun, concreteing the feeling of solid. This is beautiful, i loved the theme and wonder how it would sound done as a spoken word from you vix
