A Heart's Reckoning

I

Some hearts, though yearning for kindness, falter at its gate.

Unable to repay the gift, their hands remain too late.

Before you pour your goodness like a river's gentle flow,

Consider the recipient's heart, and the kindness that it may know.

II

For sharing your light with those who cannot see,

May lead to shadows of regret and a heart that's weary.

The wrong recipient may turn your gift to pain,

Leaving you with sorrow and a heart in vain.

III

So, choose wisely, to whom you give your heart,

For kindness, like a boomerang, may return to its start.

And though it's noble to give, it's wise to know,

The heart that receives it, and the love that it may show.

II Voices gather, calling me fortunate, They say to exist is a blessing. Yet I thread my thoughts like a silent song, Winding through the viper’s gut— A gift adrift, unseen, unsung. III Life dances wild in reckless grace, A rise, a fall, a dizzying pace. And in the end, Even the fiercest hearts may break— For Survival spares not even the strongest. . - Fearless Lines ©2024

Whose purpose is to separate the margins. Have you ever felt like a house built with of sand, And with a breeze all becomes sand beneath the feet of men. III Have you ever felt like a living being with no purpose? Or like a dead with no hope? Six feet under with screams and wails, And no one seems to hear a thing. IV Have you ever felt like a living-dead, or a zombie? Having no clues but to destroy. Have you ever felt like a human with the precision of a machine? Like a robot! All for the satisfaction and purpose of another man. V You don't have to feel like an old wine in a new bottle, Like all doors are closed, knowing not one leads to the perfect road. Your very nature is bliss, like a lightening bolt your heart will glow. VI After a hurricane comes a rainbow, When your time is set yo...
