Heartsong
The human heart can be filled with frailty
And fear
When I find myself hidden
And crowded into the smallest corner
By loneliness
And the Ghosts of a battered past
But when you added a Love
That I cannot fathom
Let alone begin to understand.
The lingering demons were exorcized
And loneliness is fading from the vocabulary
Of a heart resurrected by you.
Pain is a memory
Love is real
Loneliness is temporary
Love is permanent
Fear is fleeting
Love is my guardian now
Frailty is but an illusion
With the strength of another’s heartsong.
