The Poetry of
Susan Rice
Loving Warmth

There are times when I wonder what it would be like
To stand before the rising sun and look into the light
Yet for all the warm yellow glow, it escapes me
How dark my world is without you beside me.

The light that I carried in my heart has grown dim
The fires that once fanned me passion are no more
The flames have died down leaving me feeling cold
How dark is my world without you inside me.

The season change as season will do,
From Winter cold to Summers dew
Time has marched on and I my soul has thawed
Now I can look around me again, with such awe.

With the mourning, has come an end to my morning.
I'll never forget that love so wonderful and true
But in my heart, I now know I can go on again
To find another, but never to replace you.

Once again, I can see the light of day
I hear the songs of birds and realize it is my heart
For at this moment it is lighter than air
And with it, my spirit can fly on the wings of love again.
