The Heart's Hope

Night
Is a dangerous time.

It is when the heart and mind
Wander together
To the very edge of reality.

The mind,
Try as it might,
Sees only darkness;
But the heart…

The heart sees
Another world
Hiding just out of sight—
A different one at every visit.

And I know;
I know
That someday,
I will stumble upon that world
And life will change
Forever.

The heart can never convince
The mind
To see.

But slowly
Slowly
The mind turns the heart’s visions
To black
And they return to me

To set out tomorrow
When the heart’s hope has been
Revived.
