Heart to Heart

A Poem by Alexander Mccarthey

sometimes you can't swim

When we sink into the heart of those depths

When we no longer see the light of day

Stay Strong

Everything may be taken away

Your Heart

Your Home

But nothing is really taken

nothing is really destroyed

In truth those pieces of our loss are truly real

Inside of each one of us

Our hearts

Our Minds

Let them shine and burst

Let them become the firework within you

It's a good poem because of the insight behind it. You know your stuff.

Our Hearts, Our Minds, let them chine and burst let them become the firework withing you. That's a brilliant tid-bit right there. When Lady Muse commands, you must obey, it's the one weakness of an artist, because only we know how fleeting a muse can be. Brilliant write, and wonderful depth to the words. Alas, great inspiration comes when you least expect it.

Good Job
