"leaned On a Heart"

I glared out from my window and found a different place...
Where I once ran too before I fell from grace...
My eyes saw something that blinded my decisions...
I leaned on a heart that was not purely inspirations...
All at once the bottom fell out and my cries began to sing...
I walked lightly through a mind field like a butterfly's wing...
Still my steps hit a few and my heart drained on the floor...
This shiny apple's beauty showed the bruises from the core...
The breeze shoots through my window like cold water on my face...
And then these thoughts scatter away leaving a nothing but a trace...
Trust was tested and faith was taken on a ride...
Looks from my window are now clear from the inside...
There is only one place to lean my heart and know it won't break...
Its here at home with my love in a place where there are no stakes...

Carolyn Devonshire November 19, 2010 at 8:47 PM Just don't stay "inside" too long, Michael, especially if you live alone. Yes, "there are no stakes" or risks, but sometimes taking the risk can be worth it. Enjoyed the imagery and metaphors in your poem! Love, Carolyn
