A Wondrous Treasure

Heart song,
completely serene in the womb cushion
where life is sweetly new.

Once in life light,
unfamiliar world brings mysteries and discoveries
as the tiny heart song plays.

Innocence and awe bring
challenges, joys uninhibited
as the song grows free.

Somewhere,
feared monsters creep beyond the boundary,
crushing the song under unfathomable evil.

Silently, the shatters like glass
carousels tumbling from a broken shelf.

The heart song struggles,
on slowest bleed, recreating itself in pain so
deep it cannot be undone.

Tears fall outside a heart broken,
mending itself to sing
even through scars of disilusion.

Many breaks, scars and tears
beset the song, yet, it still plays
despite harm, indifference, false love.
The black hovers,
but the heart is brighter,
wiser for it, rezilliant
in its melodic time
won by many silent battles of care.

Heart song,
genuine,
careful,
still comes alive
like Spring blooms
in patches of color
now spreading toward sky and and stars that welcome.
