when ice envelopes the heart
distance is protection
as a barrier rears up to safeguard
the tenderness behind it
the heart endures a perilous journey
in between the comfort and joy
of glorious moments
offering peace and love
and when openness returns
soothing acceptance
is rewarded
with the best love can offer
I Write Her 
A beautiful message of love. Thank you for sharing.
