Sweet Heart

(12 December 2015)

And sweet heart, I see your tears

Dropping to the earth, staining, steam

Destroys the minerals and life screams

For the hurt here is genuine

The thirsty earth is suffering

And the potency, this urgency

This clergy seems distraught

If the most joyful of them is lost now

Where is God

And her brother! That brother in arms

In arms warm and snug, wanting his love

And where's it gone, she stands alone

A tiny little rope tied now,

But the boat isn't strapped to the dock now

And she stands alone, like a post

and the wind will blow and she will wait

In sleet and snow, termites grow

The wood is old and she is no

More....

The loving hand that carved her and

Sanded down the edges, saddened by the message

His craft is no more, and she only stood to moor

A single vessel
