Lasting Days

Image: Author

The poems on this page will generally be about the human condition and spiritual needs. These cannot be separated though some may try.

No, the heart must hold fast

The heart doesn't desire,

that's foolish talk

The loins might desire

the head certainly does.

But the heart retires

from such, it has work to do

The heart stays busy

it hasn't idle hands.

Now the eyes may glance

instead of hold fast

But the heart can't skip

or none will last,

Long enough for some

mind to dream a desire.

No, the heart must hold fast.
