Listen to poem:

Heart's Truths

in the hush of dark
it opens wide
setting free
the wings of truth

subtleties not seen
by naked eye
in daylight misconstrued

it’s in the midnight hour
when all is peaceful
that my heart reveals
its deepest truths

the universe at large
the home where we belong
this life of ours
within the realm of eternity
is just a flash
a wink

meaningless
yet
hardly so

it is the tranquillity and peace that is so special at the midnight hour ~ when gazing skywards we realise how tiny we are... Beautiful dear Line good luck in the contest. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

"it’s in the midnight hour when all is peaceful that my heart reveals its deepest truth" - true of so many of us, maybe because it is when we are quiet?
