What is a heart that it hopes such things - Losing itself and wanting to be found, Yearning to fly yet longing to be bound, Needing at the same time both roots and wings? What is a heart that it contains such fears - Passion's shout answered with indifferent sighs, Devotion fading in a lover's eyes, Love as ephemeral as children's tears? What is a heart but hope's brightest beacon - Shining forth amidst the world's grey, dim air Of failure, hatred, disgust and despair A light that despite all does not weaken? She keeps alive, for all that know her name, The lambent glow of the eternal flame. |
