A softness in me you've awakened
One I thought had been long gone
Hidden from what others had taken
To await a future promising dawn
Found it hidden beneath old scars
Needing carings own quintessence
One who'd move the heavenly stars
To share his own beautiful essence

Sponsor, Dear Heart - Wiishkobi Ode
He stayed safely cocooned in man-made fort,
Year after year, to protect
His heart from un-carings.
