Fickle Heart

Oh fickle heart

you timeless

breeze how

carelessly you’d

blow across

uncertain miles,

so easily fooled to break again

like a fallen leaf

swept along by

empty promises,

back to every overly

imagined dream

as if heart’s could

see clearer than

the truer stories

already revealed,

envisioning instead

the dreams you’d

rather walk within

endlessly dancing

to every impractical

beat…often singing

the words without

a song, yet heart

you’d choose never

to whisper as the

the impractical

winds rage on

around you,

and dream back

towards greater

stories yet

to be told,

oh fickle heart

you never broke…

the fissures only

made you stronger.
