The Resilient Heart Moves On

The resilient heart moves on Life waits for no one The fragility of time refines the process And defines the courage that rages On A web of affection and all of life’s beautiful tomorrows An assortment of moments that make up all sorrows But the heart does not fear because in reality “The heart is the only broken instrument that works” Laying broken on the floor Wounded through the core of victory My heart is electrified but broken As flaming thoughts flash through my head The substance of my action Subdued a fraction of my life Even though the knife of deceit was part of the equation! “The heart is the only broken instrument that works” It stretches out in the dark and grabs the soul While it flourishes in the production of words! Far beneath the solid order of man is the reflection of the heart Pain can only last for a season and that which was claimed as A victory at the time was a channel for a future sacrifice! The substance of my action Subdued a fraction of my life Even though the knife of deceit was part of the equation! A web of affection and all of life’s beautiful tomorrows An assortment of moments that make up all sorrows But the heart does not fear because in reality “The heart is the only broken instrument that works” Mark Frank Copyright 2022
