My Heart In the World

My heart cries
for change in the world

My heart bleeds
for peace in the world

My heart seeks
fullness in the world

My heart beats
for love in the world

My heart howls
for sanity in the world 

My heart hopes
for greatness in the world

My heart fades
for hate in the world

My heart dies
for life in the world

My heart prays
for faith in the world

My heart crawls
for growth in the world

but the world
spills my heart like water held in its hand.
