Life Springs Forth


** Published in Issue 1 of SISTERS magazine **

Life Springs Forth

Give me naseeha*,

I'm feeling lost
I know what it is
But then I'm not sure.

After a forest fire,
From the depth of ashes,
Life springs forth.

In the driest of lands,
From dew drops of rain,
Life springs forth.

From the hardest of hearts,
More solid than rock,
Life springs forth.

For every disease
There is surely a cure:
Life springs forth.

We're not in control,
He owns our hearts,
Life can spring forth.

Unbreakable hearts
Are easy to unlock

From the Inspirer of hearts
Is surely a cure

Life springs forth.

* naseeha means advise

When we ponder upon the simple truths of Nature, for sure, we will find inspiration. With an emphasis on fervent elifef, inspiration breathes in your poem.

Good thoughts-in-expression!
