How Cold Is a Heart

How cold is a heart,
that sees no light,
continuing the battle,
mistaking wrong for right.

How blind are the eyes,
that refuse to see,
kindness offered,
always within reach.

How sad are the days,
to be spent alone,
as if there is no conscience,
and no kindness is shown.

A rebel of sort,
clinging to a ghost within,
unable to recognize,
enemy from friend.

How cold is a heart,
that chooses to be alone,
forgetting the importance,
time is moving on.

I can answer that question - If you were to take a metal bucket of ice water out on the middle of a frozen lake and leave it overnight that bucket would be almost as cold as my heart before I found the Lord - i was so consumed with anger and hate that it was all I could feel - Violence was a part of my life in fact it was my life - Though now I have the heart and loyalty of a puppy - Praise God is all I can say, YF4L - God Bless, MJ

Some people just boggle my mind. For some reason they are unable to see, and just don't 'get it'. Perhaps there is a reason and one day we/they will know. Hope it won't be too late. Love, Shar

Sometimes we all cling to those ghosts within, it's just knowing when to let go. This is a sad write, I pray all is well, your friend, Ron

One day maybe this person will reconize the true Light and that heart of stone will turn to soft clay, the Potter's wheel can get tough before it gets just like the Potter wants it,I will always stand on Faith for this to happen,God Bless you my dear,for I know this is tough on you,love you,Marie

Very good verse. As to the concept perhaps the person is not cold? Perhaps the person has been hurt one too many times already? Perhaps? Light & Love
