HEART GENTLE EYE MINDFUL

HEART GENTLE EYE MINDFUL

Keep heart gentle, yet eye mindful
With passion hovering at the edge
There’s a time and place for both
Rarely twinned, but each required
Balance is kept with a critical view
Fire and flame for tempering steel
Yet also used to soften and anneal
As it reaches the appropriate hue
But always aware of getting mired
And prematurely taking that oath
Or when teetering up on the ledge
Keep heart gentle, yet eye mindful
