It seems my greatest
strength
is a fragile heart,
like a filigree
creation.
It can be crushed by
your hand
or held close within
your palm
in a caress
You can turn it toward
the light
and it is magnificent
a luminous radiance,
reflecting love...
Or you can cast it
onto the cobblestones
and watch it break into
a million pieces of
brilliance.
Whether you choose to
walk away
or to honor it with your
love...
It will not change the
earnest beating of my
heart.
It will still pulse in
my chest,
like a warrior's.
For my fragile heart
is my greatest
strength...
It always hopes,
always loves,
believes all things!
