When the Heart Aches

When the heart aches
All is dark
Gloomy skies disguise
The light that longs to break through

When the heart breaks
Light shines through
Shadows fade
Wounds are healed
As tears water the dry and barren places

When the heart makes love
All is light
Life radiates with possibility
Contentment pulsates through the veins
Longing turns to passion
Union is within reach
