Heart Unfolding

After years of silence behind shaded eyes Shallow caresses imbedded with careless lies Brittle laughter condemns the tears There's a heart unfolding here. There's nowhere to go that I can't follow Who do you think absorbed the pain? Not buried within your sorrow So easy to hide, perfected in the shadow years But there's a heart unfolding here. Follow the twisted cord to the embryonic core With a final breath, there's no corners beyond open doors Feel the heat of a survivors tears Washed clean, cradled in defeated fears Yes... there's a heart unfolding here. Once standing still, a solemn guard Beyond the wall lies Eden's yard Sheltered beneath battered wings Sacrificial angels hover near. Hold...Release There's a heart unfolding here.
