The whims of the heart
Are so hard to understand…
It goes numb in a carnival,
And flutters up in the desert sand.
It longs to belong
Surrender without fear
Yet it steps back alert, on guard
Doesn’t allow anyone near…
It is so strong, yet so vulnerable
It keeps goin on, even when shattered a million times
It embraces life as it comes, yet it lives in a fable
It gathers itself & stands up, even when dropped a million miles…
The whims of the heart
Is so hard to understand…
It goes numb in a carnival,
And flutters up in the desert sand.
The glitz don’t impress it,
The jeweled words don’t count…
A single look of understanding is all it needs
To lift it up to skies and beyond…
