Repentant Heart Poem by Doris Cornago

Life without shadows, what is a meadow
Without sorrow, what's it to have joy
Sticking close, won't know separation
Can't know the ordeal of having friction

Watching cupped leaves supplicating
Made me aware of my burdened aching
Grace as rain races down muddy beams
Repentant heart is washed sparkling

Eyes wet with tears, bright as green
Glistening raindrops no longer seen
Make me know that storm has cleared
Onward flows life renewed leaves laid
