The Heart (Sea of Emotion/Fountain of Life)

Persevering, feeling, living, thinking
All who possess life’s stream, keep drinking
Silence is golden; sometimes worth breaking
Fulfillment, lust and beasts awaking
from within, an atonement of sin
Riding on the wings of the wind
Sporadic thoughts and hearts still aching
Harboring loved ones, never forsaking
the pain that once again must begin
All part of life’s journey, so is forgiving
A moistened throat makes it hard to swallow
A fountain sprung from something as hollow
as an empty bleeding heart
All has an end that had a start
Quench the thirst till it be ‘morrow
Sanctum of emotion, heavens apart
The ones loved dearly, soon must depart
To drown in the fountain of sorrow
