In Search of Oz

My heart is aching and breaking Is there a real place called oz? I like the Tin Man need a heart. Mines no longer feels it is numb. I would like to go back to a place when heart was beating and alive. The organ that resides in my chest no longer beats it's just there. If you happen to find the land of oz please let me know.

Nice poem, Alexis. So full of angst and longing for a place of true happiness. It resides in our heart I believe, even if our heart is broken. God heals all aching hearts. Love always, RW.

Some lovers have no heart, I've known a few ! Again the emotional minefield feeds our inner being and for us poets we can write them on the outside.

Hi Alexis, great sadness in this write. The emotion drives this piece straight into the heart Alexis, opening the readers emotions. I would join you in the search, i would be looking for a brain. The heart shall start to beat again Alexis, i know from experience, it will, the light will shine again. You will not have to wait as long as i did i am sure. The magic begins within ourselves. A 7 for the deep sadness shared Alexis....Vladislav.
