'Twas awkward, but it fitted me—
An Ancient fashioned Heart—
Its only lore—its Steadfastness—
In Change—unerudite—
It only moved as do the Suns—
For merit of Return—
Or Birds—confirmed perpetual
By Alternating Zone—
I only have it not Tonight
In its established place—
For technicality of Death—
Omitted in the Lease—

Comments1WOW, I MUST SAY THIS WAS DEEP! REALLY GOT ME THINKING ABOUT LIFE, CHANGE AND STUFF. FELT A BIT SAD AND TOUCHED AT THE SAME TIME. SOMETHINGS IN LIFE ARE JUST TOO POWERFUL TO IGNORE. LOVE THE WAY IT WRAPS YOU INTO IT'S MAGICAL WORLD OF WORDS. ALWAYS GOOD TO READ SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU THINK. LOVED IT, BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN!
