Abandoned
“If the heart could speak…would it shed tears of mourning for the scarring of the soul? Dragging steal across bone, carving in “I’m not enough…”

What flows into song cannot be unsung
The motion of the world long moved, undone
A freeing of the heart, mind and soul
Capturing the beyond, learning to let go
To hold wisdom yet still not to know
for what greater cause the wind within does blow
A painful and treacherous path a heart must take
to understand severity for destiny’s sake
Courage the inward creed lest clouded with doubt it forsake
Escaping from the lungs, with echoed vibrations in its wake
Heaven discernible as the rising sun in an ethereal capture,
a trilling crescendo remarked of an angel’s rapture
Woven within a seraphic bird’s hymn, so clear
Let not her aria fall on intently deafened ears
A consummate yearning to escape within those notes
Carrying her away, beyond the universe, into the unknown
Reflected in the unrestrained flight of her heart’s soaring song,
flowing over the shockwaves of time to a far away place she belongs
What power is carried in a voice?
Is music not our linking chain to a powerful connection with something beyond? Something so vast words can barely scratch the surface of its meaning?
This poem is an expression of letting that heart song fly. Granting it the power to explode up from the lungs, through the vocal cords and soar out into the universe. Connecting with heart, mind and spirit. Knowing always that our existence is but a small drop in an infinite ocean. But in those notes, we find a place we can call home.
“If the heart could speak…would it shed tears of mourning for the scarring of the soul? Dragging steal across bone, carving in “I’m not enough…”
“All that we are bound into flesh and bone” Love transcends all, an echo transversing the cosmos, intertwining two hearts, two fates for all of time.
“Hope holds all we will ever be” The last swan song signalling the changing of the tides. In a world cloaked in darkness, we look towards the horizon.
