From Heart to Rock.

Awake, it happens again,
The night calling out as the patterns of routine crawl around the empty life.
"Friend where are you?"
He strolls along the same path but finds something new,
An open door.
Interested but hesitant he contemplates.
“The door is open walk go” the heart yells,
Yet the mind whispers “you’re already disappointed, don’t”.
With the glimpse of hope on the line he looks straight into the heart and reads,
"Acceptance is a risk, yet without risk you will find nothing"
Quickly he calculates and finds failure to be presumed,
The heart bellows "trust me".
So he walks through expecting nothing but disappointment.
He looks through with his tired eyes,
And finds something special, invigorating and amazing,
A smile.
The smallest ounce of happiness dripped into the heart,
The seed of friendship sprouted.
Unspoken joy arises from within,
And all he has to say is “thank you heart.”

To end it there would be abrupt,
But to see the implication would be unattainable.
Few would assume it was “The one”,
Others will not find meaning.
To understand, would simply be “to be”,
Only you know who you are.

“Happy Birthday” – Heart

Peter.
