The architect

While the heart
had room and
came with one key,
the walls came tumbling down.

The architect of mind
built on thoughts
stormed the heart
constructed by emotions.

It was a grand design,
but it’s downfall
was the tear factory.

With the heart on the sleeve dropped
the mind now changed
wears a new suit.

A tap echoes criying
in the distance
I see the clouds gather.
Drip! Drip! Drip!

dear Andrew... each person is designed to hold so many memories... we reshape our outward appearance, but inside the light needs to shine through... the tears will fall, but sunshine will dry the tears and flowers wil grow. truly, Pat
