A Heart Apart
Feel that little thump,
Against your breastbone?
There it is again,
Like a pulsing little phone.
If you could answer,
what would you say.
Were any of my desires
Unmet today?
Valentines day
In the middle of winter
It is a great time to listen.
Let your heart mentor.
Are you afraid to pause
And reflect on its sadness
Are you curious to know
How it survives all this madness.
Let it whisper those things
It wants you to hear.
Let it lighten its load
In this cold time of year.
It will thank you for smiling
It will mourn that lost hope
It will wish for tomorrow
It will find ways to cope
It is all there if you listen
Every delight and pain
It is renewing your life
With each pulse to your brain
I hope you find something
Worth loving today
Let your heart dream
Let love in to stay.
