The heart's not dead but yet is still
like air before the wind
has released the well confined
into a state of vibrancy.

And when released the once confined
won't ere return again
to a place that brought the roof to ground
and the walls up to each other.

Of necessity it is a place
where nothing matches perfectly
but the gaps between sides, bottom/top,
allow no freedom march.

The heart must move to be believed
and run to where it's needed
to make of a transient life
an everlasting one.

The heart's not dead but yet is still;
can it be it's simply energy
awaiting the wind of love
to spur it into action?

Though the heart can become weary of the game, the fact that it is your heart means it is always ready to spring to life again when treated with kindness love.

The trees echo
in this too cold winter
deep within a stilled heart
there is a still murmur
of life
though slight at times
but never buried ,
rejoice !!! spring will come

It's a good one, Helen.
