Wrapped in silk

She took her heart

Wrapped  in silks

Of purple and rose

With tender hands and love

Took it to a safe place

Buried it deep

Her heart needed to rest.

The fallen leaves and moss

The flurry of snow

Cover that tranquil  place.

Visiting  from time to time

She lays  hands over  

Her  heart

Lying dormant  and resting

When she feels the warmth

Of his hand near hers

The tenderness of his voice

Melts the snow.

Deep in the earth

Her heart hears his words

She  listens

and builds a steady beat

to awaken
