The Light Heart

THE LIGHT HEART

                           She lost her light heart
                 Somewhere between dead parents
                           Not being worldy smart
                  Had the rest Lover-beaten out of her
                               No matter where--
              Life's magic has been lost or wrapped in fur
                                 Her light heart
                            Has vanished in a blur

oh, this must be for that one contest that looked a bit unusual. I LIKE what you did for that theme. How are you, dear lady?
