The Frozen Pathway To Your Heart

I never could find the way
It is a path few have traveled
If you ever allowed anyone
The path is treacherous
Full of pitfalls and deep valley
I don’t think anyone made it all the way
You’d ever leave an opening
Not even the slightest crack
Cold winds blow out from the valley
Covering the path with ice and frost
Hiding the footprints
Covering the bodies of those who came before
The few who made it this far
Not knowing the right words
The right actions
They gave up hope
Not knowing that over the next hill
Just beyond the clouds
Lies a door with a golden lock
Waiting for a young knight
To have the right words
With the right feeling
Only then the paths will thaw
The winds will warm
The walls will crack
The lock to you heart will open
And maybe once again
You’ll let someone love you
And maybe once again
You will be able to love again

Sometimes it's hard to find the key to unlocking the heart, Robert, but letting "someone love you" is often the best way to open the "golden lock." Love the journey to new love the "young knight" undertakes in this great poem.
