Hearth of Hearts

Reaching across an ocean of time two hearts embrace no distance at all

they fall and twist as rainbows bend until night's blanket comes again

once more again as tender new moments become fully embraced

sewn together at last with open hands that bind nothing at all

offering freely to release what they hold most dear in love

they choose to give away what they cherish the most

that it may learn to fly free and be born once again

like mirrors on fire in a cool mountain's mist they

reach their spires and climb again to the stars

where night's desire turns to days unknown

until now where they have seen opening

somehow wider and more fully in trust

 they build a fire in a hearth of hearts

seeking no promise they trust now

to show what tomorrow brings

keeping secret their pledges

drawn in the blood of their

own candlelit illusions

they dream of what

this can be but
we can only
wait and
see
