Heart of Heart

by Austin Lopez

Love for hope, passion smolders, embers born of,

joy and wonder, cheerful flames alit eagerly.

Unbound soaring, skies reaching dancing fire.

Icy uncaring encroaches compassion, dispelling quickly,

tides faltering desperately tumble into ocean.

Forged and tempered hardships through bonds strongest.

Ashes scattered, dark and dull thrust by winds,

of darkness defeating light, skies clouded.

Tempest of rain unleashes torrent of emotion.

World of tears, away washes hopeful dreams,

in rainfall of ages turbulent and trying.

Calm before storming, time runs thin, chaos roams.

Storm brews, clouds darkening, thunder growling,

lightning flashes, shadows gather, clouds grow heavy.

Winds remain blustering, halting chaotic storms.

All begun, all destined, all transpired,

so hearts whim cursed and blessed is fulfilled.

Beating quietly, Heart of Heart, quietly beats.

Fulfilled is blessed and cursed whim’s heart so,

transpired all, destined all, begun all.

Storms chaotic halt blustering, remained winds.

Heavy grows clouds, gathering shadows, flashing lighting,

growling thunder, darkening clouds, brewing storms.

Roaming chaos, thin runs time, storming before calm.

Trying and turbulent ages of rainfall in,

dreams hopeful wash away tears of world.

Emotion of torrent unleashes rain of tempest.

Clouded skies, light defeats darkness of,

winds by thrusting dull and dark scattered ashes.

Strongest bonds through hardship, tempered and forged.

Ocean into, tumbles desperate faltering tides,

quickly dispelling, compassion encroaches uncaring ice.

Fire dancing reaches skies soaring unbound.

Eagerly alit, flames cheerful, wonder and joy,

of born embers, smolder passions hoping for love.
