Brave Heart

Passions brave heart singing.

Subdued emotions rekindling.

Love denied yet still terror diminishing.

Reaching out.

Seizing the light.

Allowing the glow to grow.

Feeling the warmth within.

Ice hollows becoming thinner.

Darkness coming into the light.

Shadows vanishing.

Mazes burning.

Walls crumbling.

No more disembodied voices calling.

Fear of not knowing fading.

Seeds of hate reversing.

Sending sweet perfume wavering.

To feel.

To be felt now smiles.

Sensations tingling.

Goose bumps of pleasure blooming.

Blackened waxed wings of depression melting.

Revealing new born silvery wings.

Readying to fly freedoms sky.
