Some hearts are caring, other are cold
some hearts retiring, some daring and bold;
some worth admiring, while others are not..
some good at sharing,
and some barely beating, wounded in need of healing
as is her own, entrusted to you
so long ago
still capable of truth if not much else.

At times warped and twisted, crusty with
bloody pasts
overwhelmed in the present..
what is it, dare she ask? But now she must..
is it worth anything, really, this heart of glass?
Is it actually stone incapable of happiness?

So from one heart to another, what is the truth really?
Must this heart be cast in cement,
so heavily aside?

The heart is the temple wherein all truth resides,
but the truth seems so elusive;
unable to be pinned down
long enough to foster a heart warm and beating,
to stop confusions bleeding,
is the truth really that ugly, or is she?

Are truth and confusion one and the same
flooding these crevices with pain?
Oh to take it all in a heartbeat away..
but how?

Please can you help her with these questions now
for she is weighted down in guilt once again
within things she may wish to be happy about.
Can you paint a prettier picture with your words
than the place she is right now?, a less doubtful
/ SANCTUARY /
she has to get out…so

From one heart to another, please tell her the truth;
mold it in wisdom well-founded.

And if, in fact, it is the truth, write it down
so it won't be lost so easily
as is she
and so that it also might come to
be set in stone
as has been this despair.

And oh that the truth will stand long,
and turn around
to become a living breathing embodiment
of words other than those
that have surrounded this rocky ground.
