Embers Of My Heart
(Version 02)
Beat up and broken, left with half a heart
I dig the claws of my soul
into the cold hard rock that lay before me.
The Gail force winds are polluted
with particles of great loss and suffering,
threatening my existence, by attempting
to suffocate the last of my will to carry on.
Poisonous words fall like rain, turning to steam,
with intent to extinguish the embers of my heart.
Without warning, the Gail force winds give in
to find someone else to weak to fight.
Naked and cold, I turn on my back
to face the dark empty space all around me.
As I breath deep, I can feel
the clean cool air filling my broken body,
I sense healing vibrations
flowing through the core of my being.
I let out an uncontrollable trembling sigh,
let go, and start to cry.
I see images of angels
through the blurry window of my soul, go by.
I now know I'm not alone,
and can start to rekindle
the embers of my heart.
