Love, Heart, and Gold

You are the person of virtuous devotion 
The world has beaten you down and taken what you love
Yet you never slayed by your emotion
You took pity on those like you and with your wings showed them how to fly like doves
To connect is a skill few want to master
Moving by the clock, thoughts stuck other's faults
But here you are the people's, passionate pillar
You borrow their eyes to see their hearts
To lose and arm and a leg is nothing to you
Because you know that their are those who can't even walk
You see that we are not so different in our goals and struggles too
You can read our fortresses and tread to the gates we only stalk
To give us light
We can work together
To stay and fight
To live and see another

And to you although your soul is teared by the hands of apathy
And you find purpose in repaying debts
You yearn to talk to others about reality
To share joy, grievance, to hear them laugh and feel their breath
And that is what makes you mighty
The room inside your essence 
To clean out the clutter and look at what's empty
You plant saplings in the void and fill it with lively impressions 
To survive a storm in a sign of endurance 
But why resist pain if you are the trigger to your own bullet
Command winds to stop 'because I am here to guide your movements'
The waves are tough but you sway past and go for it
No longer are you still and unnerving 
Now you master the art of control
Your sails began augmenting 
As you move to a new sea to a new pole

At last it is he, no one could forget
How could anyone not know him
He stands out like the first page of a gazzete 
He can't just blend with the rest, knowing how he's been
With the style of his slick hair and bright clothes
He could wear a zoot suit to a wedding
And that's what he loves to express and expose
For no man could take his place, no one has what he's betting
In the face of judgment he tells them to let go as it is
It has no baring on life and the pleasures of living
Why move a dandelion in a field of roses
Tackled by the plants and never being the diamond on a ring

I have no words but thank you
You make up the world
Not just the three, but eight billion too
You make it worthful, you make it pearled
See within that you hold the earth
It is a gift to everyone that ever was, young and old
It's something to share, share your worth
It is meant to play out, not to be told

It's the greatest gift we hold
It's Love, Heart, and Gold
