Of Heart and Tears

Of heart and tears (For zinzi) You know my heart You have been to the profundity of its core You know every blemish on its walls And the scars frayed by forged hope You know its voice The courage your smile brings to life If you had not known my heart and it not you Then the words I utter would be untrue The credence of sorrow would mould in its chambers For it does not know its keeper But a prayer is said when dawn breaks And gratitude is set upon the heavens. For you know my heart and it knows your name

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
