Aching Heart

You don’t have to say a word to her
She understands
She’s a shadow fading in your light …

Is she
A whisper lost in the wind?
Meaningless, invisible?
Insignificant?
She might be …

To you

She’s a foolish heart
Sensitive to the way of the world
Bruised by the coldness of yours …
Her emotions, raw and exposed

How can she feel so broken
Lost and unhappy?
It’s a mystery to her own self!

Stupidity, they call it
For feeling too deeply …
For caring too much …
For believing so easily …
For loving unconditionally …
But even in her aching heart,
She remains
A delicate soul in a world too rough …

  2. I think you couldve written this about many of us. We are tender and frail of heart in a rough and brutal world. I think I tend to wish for everyone to love their fellow man and it just isn’t the reality of the world.

    1. Your perspective is both heartfelt and insightful.

      It’s true that many of us share this vulnerability and desire for universal love and kindness. It’s important to hold onto that hope and to be the change we wish to see, even if the world often falls short of our ideals.

      How’re you dear Stephie?
      Hope you are having a wonderful blessed time in life!

      1. You’re so right; Amelia. So blessed are you to have so much insight into the soul and spirit of those who care about others. — I am not as well as I would like to be but well enough to be functioning. Some days, I want to quit but I force myself to keep going. — Life is too precious to squander it and I know I must be strong, though I do feel so weak. — I wish to hear all about you, too, my dear. Tell me how YOU are?

      2. I’m glad my insight can be of some help. It’s completely understandable to feel the way you do; life can be incredibly tough. Remember to be gentle with yourself and acknowledge the strength it takes to keep going …

        If there’s anything you need or if you just want to talk, I’m here for you my dear Stephie.

        Well, I was on Nepal trip. It was an exciting insightful trip, I must say! Travelling makes me feel alive. Then I go out to the world and then again I feel crave to come back home … it’s a never ending cycle but I love it ….

        I loved their vegetarian meals so much.

      3. oh, my goodness, Amelia. I am soo happy you are getting to travel. Yep, it’s great to explore but also good to get back to our cocoon where we can restore our energies for the next adventure. — thank you so much for being my friend, Amelia. I am short on friends and everyone is so busy, I hate to bother them. I am thankful for sweet souls like you who are available should I need a shoulder. — I love that you like vegan foods; so do I! In these last years, I have also become almost vegetarian. It has helped my health. A few times a week, i allow myself some animal/sea protein/eggs. — what is your favorite vegetarian dish/es?
