Nancy
His heart
Hears
Her haunted dreams
Though she does not stir
Or make a sound
His heart
Waits
Through the hours
As long as she needs
Encloses
All of it
The pain
The fear
Holds it
Away from her
Until she is strong
Ready
A pitiful whimper
Desolate and defenseless
From her darkness
She awakens
He offers solace
Heart whispers
You’re safe
You're safe now
She hears
More
Than his words
She feels
More
Than his promise
His voice
Comforts
She is embraced
His voice
Calms
She is cherished
His heart
Assures
She can rest
Cosseted and cuddled
Not yet prepared to face
The violence of
Then
The enigma of
Now
The terror of
When
He knows
For the present
Her repose is tranquil
In the cradle
That is his heart
His heart
Her shelter
She
His heart’s treasure
He
Will
Love
Her
With all his strength
Gentleness
His most profound gratitude
His heart
Hers
Forever
for you, H
His Heart

Oh, Nancy...this is just lovely. There are no words...and yet you've found some. You have a real gift for saying so much in so few words.
Great job,
Krista :)
I saw your sweet, smiling face in some con photos, Krista, and you are as sweet and lovely as you look! This is an old piece...so wordy...but I think I still like it enough to have it here! Thank you for liking it, too. Heard from Carole that you've posted your next chapter...I'm off now to enjoy it! Love, Nancy
Dare I say it? Nancy you've done it again :) So lovely, the way you have described His heart-their meeting. Indeed his heart hers forever. :)
Oh Nancy!
How Beautiful! Each of your writings has such a depth of feeling and understanding. But this one... this one is absolutely Vincent and so amazing.
Brit, I'm so relieved to hear from you. I couldn't get your blog to come up yesterday. How are you feeling? Nancy
Ann B., you are so kind and I am so grateful for you! Thank you for these sweet words. Our Vincent is such a joy to write, isn't he! Blessings on Mr. Koslow for endowing Vincent with his amazing capability to love and be loved. And bless you for your generous praise! Nancy
Blog is back up, Nancy! I'm feeling almost me again :) Thank you for asking. :)
*Big Hug*
Brit
Maybe too wordy in your mind, but I loved it, especially the part about her repose being tranquil in the cradle of his heart. What a lovely thought.
Thank you, R1, for liking that line so much, for liking the poem. It's old. I'd forgotten it but I thought it might feel at home here with the rest of my efforts! :) Isn't there such a sense of calm, of welcome and belonging, when one visits Vincent and Catherine? Thank you for being here on a Monday morning. I wish you the sweet week you've started for me! Nancy
