Heart's Harp

Tiny heart soars high in the sky
It raises above, ripping the dark clouds
And talks for hours __ to the Mage of Night 

At times, it dives down deep into the blue water 
And swims on the back of a butterfly fish
Sometimes rests in a fluffy coral reef__

It walks like a king
In the vast empire of my Mind
Surely, it is the sun of this perfect floral garden

Every now and then, it gets wet
By the glum autumn rains
When it walks on the barren lands

But, it gets up, open its wings
Flies again above the winds
Or slide down with a crunchy crimson leave
To sleep on a noisy pile of sacked leaves

Little Heart's harp is strange
Little heart wants everything

Though, it is enslaved
Inside a in ribs-cage

A very moving tribute to a tiny heart that imaginatively captivates the reader in your poem's fine, descriptive lines. The final 2 line stanza is especially powerful. Cheers Brian
