TODAY MY HEART TALKED TO ME,
AS IF IT HAD A BRAIN AND A MOUTH.
REALLY, I FELT IT!
THIS IS WHAT IT SAID…

Yo
I was once
Apparent
And felt
Not like I was yours
But
As if I weren’t
I’m now
Possessed
Cherished
Prized
I feel singular
With new substance
And budding strength
I’m harder
And smarter
Understanding
Grasping the truth
And pumping it through you
About the past
And the present
Even the future
I’m permanent
Strong
From necessary losses
And some other things, too
Now
A fixture
Not
For looks
Or pleasure
But
For strength
And purpose
(Ok, some pleasure)
To lead you out of the softness
The blue
Into the hard
Solid
Rudiments
Of life
LIFE
The Violet
Living
And feeling
With purpose
No more ache
Or stagnant love
Or weakness
Can we be done with that?
Now
Let's traverse
To the true quintessence
Of this thing
Called
You
