Rhymes of the Heart [My Collected Poetry Thread]

Life is present everywhere,
In shining stars of the midnight sky,
In quiet nights of a solitary forest,
In babbling brooks o'er cold earth,

In droplets of rain from the vast sky,
Life is present everywhere,
Sacred is everything. Divine is all.
A quiet night in a solitary forest,

Merry Meet and Blessed Be,
Droplets of rain from the vast sky,
The Mother and Father is in us all,
Sacred is everything. Divine is all.

Shining stars in a midnight sky,
Merry Meet and Blessed Be,
Babbling brooks o'er cold earth,
The Mother and Father are in us all.

Color buried away and the scenery blurred white,
The world is a blank canvas,
Light sparkles and dances off our unfinished artwork,
Pleading for us to bring color back to its surface,

I can barely see our world in this resolution,
And the contrast of your color in this grayscale,
I cannot take my eyes off of you,

Look at this frozen canvas,
How would you paint it?
Steal the color from my soul,
And cover the ground in life,

Warmth drains from our bones,
And the time has flown by,
Draw a fire for me,
Draw a source of warmth,

Hold me close in this dimly lit room,
But don't keep me from this world of art for long,
Our canvas only stays for this season,
Our canvas will leave us before long,

Pour the color from my soul,
Cover our canvas with our love,
Paint a picture for our eyes alone,
Paint a picture for our love alone.

The smoke once drifted through his lungs,
Chased by burning drink,
The urges of his flesh drove all that he did,
He never once thought of the pain that he would spread,

His heart was led astray by the substance and the "sin",
His sorrows multiplied each day change did not begin,
Until the day she moved away,
What he once held for granted left him that day,

She, The Catalyst, lit a fire in his heart,
He knew the pain of separation, felt it from the start,
She, The Catalyst, Tore his sins apart,
For her, he knew, he could not take the substance anymore,

The smoke once drifted through his lungs,
But now his breath is clear,
He once chased smoke with burning drink,
But his conscience now has cleared.
