Heart's Freedom

Get to know your little friend
Which resides within
Speaking truth with every precious beating
She knows too well to be accused
Of crimes beyond her self
Yet with every bruising
She remains true
For her lifeblood is this
Her own defiance 
Will mock her existence
So she keeps center her voice
From which convictions flow
Giving PEACE
L O V E
Even to the point of dying
Let reason stand still
Very still
Sometimes impossible 
To find at will
If only she would know his secret to keep
For now she has relied
On her own compass for guiding
Never wander away from her
She will never offer pseudo happiness
Or fall short of life's expectations
Hold fast to what she says
In her still gentle voice
is TRUTH
and truth
always
SETS FREE!
