The Gentle Giant

From afar a golden voice came echoing,
Waking a gentle giant from deep slumbering.
Hesitant at first smiles abound thereafter,
Happiness ensued his heart beat louder.

Scent of love in the air ensued,
The heart of the sleeping giant wooed.
Mornings blossomed full of endless hope,
For a peaceful life near a slope.

Mistakes forgiven pasts have been forgotten too,
This gentle giant invested his emotions true.
Lightning struck breaking hearts to pieces,
A quiet and painful cry releases.

How much more could his heart endure?
Only him and no one could cure.
His only wish to the voice afar,
Cut deep and leave a scar.
