A Heart Condoned

MY THOUGHTS ARE SCRAMBLED MY FEELINGS ARE LOST
THROUGHOUT THERE ARE TANGLED THOUSANDS OF VINES
A STRAIGHT PATH THROUGH IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE
MY TRUE INNER SELF IS HARD TO FIND

SCATTERED WITHIN ARE VINES OF THISTLE
MINGLED WITH VARIOUS VINES OF THORN
THEIR WOUNDS THROUGH MY SOUL CONTINUOUSLY ROOT DEEPER
AS I FIND MY FIGHTING HEART BECOMING TIRED AND WORN

IF THERE IS MEASURABLE DEPTH OF A BOTTOMLESS PIT
OR THE POSSIBLE DESTINATION OF A NEVER-ENDING ROAD
THEN LIFE'S NOT SUCH A QUESTIONABLE MYSTERY
BECAUSE OUR LOVE HAS DEPTH AND DESTINATION BOTH

IN AND OUT THE STRANDS OF TIME
OUR VINES OF STRENGTH ARE WOVEN AND BLENDED
WITH IT OUR JOURNEY IS CAREFULLY BALANCED
WITHOUT OUR PATH IS ABRUPTLY ENDED

A CLEAR PATH THROUGH MAY SEEM ALWAYS CHANGING
AND THE HOLE-IN MY HEART MAY SEEM DEPRESSINGLY DARK
THE UNKNOWN THAT LIES RIGHT BEFORE US
MAKES LIFE DIFFICULT AND ROUGH TO EMBARK

I TRY HARD TO CONTROL MY ANGER AND FRUSTRATION
BUT IT IRONICALLY BURNS AS PASSION INSIDE
TRYING TO SORT AND ORGANIZE THOSE EMOTIONS
MAKES ME WANT TO GIVE UP, RUN AND HIDE

MY HEART DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE THE PASSION
TO CONSIDER IT GOOD FOR THE WANT OR BAD FOR THE NEED
IT BEATS FOR THE MOMENT HOPING SOMETHING BETTER WILL COME 
BECAUSE A HEART RUN OUT OF HOPE IS ANOTHER SOUL SET FREE

THE BEATING OF A HEART MUST BE CHARISMATIC MUSIC INDEED 
BECAUSE IT BEATS A RHYTHM CONSIDERED HARMONY
BUT A HEART ALONE IS A HEART CONDONED
AND A LONELY SONG IS DESERVED TO BE SUNG BY NOBODY

Always JKG
