A Burning Heart

As a summer breeze words from your lips are sweeter than honey
In the sanctity of the night with the moon hovering above
Inspired by reverence for unearthliness and spirituality
A profound predilection for pious thought and brotherly love
Has the heart burning with condemnation of apathy and brutality
While encompassed with pulsating altruistic feelings
And a deep consternation for retribution meanings
When inwardly balancing morality and mortality

I relate to this and for the most part I echo each sentiment. I think you touched head on a subject needing that touch and did so quite well. I really enjoyed your poem. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
