Awaken the Heart

It takes more than love
to keep us together
as we make it hard
to awaken the heart

Endeavoring forever
when we dream differently
and interpret them
without offending or

Pretending what they are
about
we dream
redeeming

The best person in us
Giving back
the lack of unconditional
trust

Awakening to make
everything as true
From the picnic to the palace
To the clown juggling the blues

Making light of our fights
When we are apart
Swaying in our days
Imbibing in the dark

As we console our souls
together for the days
making our roles endeavor
forever and always
