What Can Be

Burdens abound
as they wrap around
a fragile mind in the dark

But a glimmer of light
can break through the night
when love is given spark

A heart can't beat
when heaven is unmeet
and to sunder a soul will frown

But when love is alive
and men take to them wives
a soul can't be hampered down
