V...This is what my house said to me today....

Your heart is like this old house

whose windows have been closed for so long,

But now have swung wide open letting in all the sunshine

that has been patiently waiting to enter.

And there is no hurry to fill every inch of this space.

The light moves slowly and gently

as the suns warmth is graciously received

as if it had never been shut out.

A wave of peace settles in this old space ,

this old heart of mine,

and as its walls move and shift

it hears the birds song,

and the cracks begin to heal.

In knowing

that it has been made strong,

it is once again

ready

to

love.
