Edwin Hofert Poet Rhyme

My Heart Knew

My Heart Knew

Broken in so many ways
even day was dark as night.
My heart convinced my mind
to let it try to write.

My mind so overwhelmed
simply said it did not care.
With pen and paper in my hand
my heart began to share.

It told of pain from long ago
it told of fear and doubt.
What it was I could not see
my heart let it all out.

For each and every memory
my heart shared from within.
There was a stirring in my soul
I felt healing begin.

I struggled at the start of it
I felt naked and exposed.
I wondered if not better off
when I kept my heart closed.

Then suddenly a light did shine
like the meaning of a word.
I began to see more healing
as the voice of you I heard.

All the suffering and the sorrow
we were never meant to own.
My heart knew of me and you
we never were alone.
