Captives of a Longing Heart

What has your heart desired to say when the words could not be captured and expressed in beautiful voice? A thousand verses and rhymes and stories did wrestle within, straining against the silence. What was waiting, captive to the throbbing heart, beat by beat, aching to be set free, stirred by pain or sorrow or joy or love?

I think it's our hearts that hold us captive. Your write gives long pause for thought.

Thank you, Lyn. What a mystery is a heart. Who can know it
