The Nature of the Heart

The nature of the heart

is to attach

and if attached,

then it can love,

And if it loves,

then it could break,

and if it breaks,

It could stay broken,

and close inside for good.

But if it gets

a second chance,

or a third,

or a fourth,

Then it could open

up again

Like a flower

from the cold

and beaten ground

into the spring

and bloom towards

the sun that warms it

and don't ya know,

that spring is right

around the corner.
