There is a space inside the Heart A hollow bit with walls and room To let in more than we assume Could even ever fit there... It stretches out and it expands To fit the open hands and minds Of lonely strangers and old friends... It's such a lovely spot. We should, I think, keep broom at hand And Spring-Clean every once or twice To make it nice and comfy soft For visitors who stop here. And even maybe sweep the steps And offer up a sugar bowl With creme and comfort and a spoon Next' to the coffee *** There is a space inside the Heart A little nitch (with room to spare) I often find my self in there Just waiting for a visit. So come on in with Saint or Sin (The Open Heart cannot define The difference of the two) The coffee's warm and so's the beer... I'll leave a light for you.

A Broken Sonnet
There is a space inside the Heart A hollow bit with walls and room To let in more than we assume Could even ever fit there... It stretches out and it expands To fit the open hands and minds Of lonely strangers and old friends... It's such a lovely spot. We should, I think, keep broom at hand And Spring-Clean every once or twice To make it nice and comfy soft For visitors who stop here. And even maybe sweep the steps And offer up a sugar bowl With creme and comfort and a spoon Next' to the coffee *** There is a space inside the Heart A little nitch (with room to spare) I often find my self in there Just waiting for a visit. So come on in with Saint or Sin (The Open Heart cannot define The difference of the two) The coffee's warm and so's the beer... I'll leave a light for you.
