IX. “Release”

 

As the greatest work of art

The heart was never meant to be simply an item 

On display in a walk –through gallery

Locked up for all to see

For no one to know

Yet, here it sits behind the “security” of a glass case

Quarantined due to unforeseen remnants of insecurity

 

And you pass by never curious as to why

Such beauty remains encased

“That’s just the way things are now”

Convinced it will always be this way.

 

 The heart was meant to be shared, nurtured

And in being held, carefully guarded;

Not by the cold walls of a transparent cell

But by the warmth of the passionate, loving, and faithful

 

Your hands
