Shared Hearts

 

Shadows creep 

                on silent feet

as day's warm light dissolves

and as the veil drops o'er the land,

so human heart does fall

We seek out comfort

              kindred souls

as faith and spirit fail

and as our minds drift far away,

towards home, on lifted sails

And sometimes, 

        in our fevered thoughts,

we make untold mistakes,

which haunt us when the morning calls

and clearer views awake

And so

        we hide our human wounds

as soldier on we must

and push deep down our troubled fears

and wonder who to trust

The answer's there

       inside your heart

Search deep within and find

that all along, you've known the truth

the heart you trust--is mine.
