My Heart

Like a dense block of ice Encapsulating my heart My feelings are frozen Until I escape this moment in the dark When traumatic events occur I feel my temperature drop One degree, two degree It's a autonomic response I can't stop As I begin to clarify my internal words The ice begins to thaw The tears streaming from my eyes I feel as if i'm being called Called to love life - live life Called to let go of all of the pain Called to serve others Let the ice melt, life will never be the same My heart has been revived It’s beat is strong I now have an opportunity To live this life - and be better for it all
