#day19
Even though a cold heart
tries to remain unfeeling,
detached,
unexpected kindnesses
and easy smiles
remind it
that the world is still a warm place.
Even though a broken heart
tries to remain wounded,
lamenting,
changing seasons
and fresh desires
remind it
not all love has to be eternal.
Even though a trembling heart
holds fears
of the unknown,
curiosity to know what lies
beyond comforting complacency
remind it
that courage finds those who seek it.
Even though a lonely heart
tries to remain stoic,
shut in,
fleeting joys,
pure and tender,
tempt it
to choose hope over despair.

Arms loose, by my sides sensing nothing, coated
Feet fall, in steps walked before by many soles,
City streets flow thick with cars slow-death bloated,
Eyes seek relief, from metal bright musing Soul,
In the shadows, scent and see and touch, lost worlds.
