Heart Light

The heart light feels what people can't see.
Passions reside and the shades to be.
Is a smile so shallow and showing so slim?
Is the heart's light showing to us so very dim?
What will it take to show us so bright.
It's that warmth in a smile to hold us tight.
How can I show you what I feel inside?
I'll use these words and try not to hide.
You are the gleam that makes me feel right.
Now from my soul is seen a great bright heart light.

How very true. Strange how you can feel so much with your heart but can't always put it in words. Great job.

I can figuratively see, you walking from the darkness into the light. Beautifully done.

Thank you Linda for reminding me to come back. Life changes were difficult for me, but I think I'm ready to move forward now. I missed you all so much.

The heart led by the mind, unconfined by illusion of sight, even fear. Probes the inner but fleating beauty that can transform a lifetime, touches the soul and a new realm in sight. Beautiful write Donald.
