A Floating Heart. 

After you were gone
My heart fell apart
A jigsaw without structure 
A mess of lonely parts

I think you took me with you
My breath, my life, my soul 
For, all that remained 
Was this deep & vacant hole

One day I fell into its depths 
Without thought of return
Crumbling to a waste of ash
In my own neglected urn

Suddenly, blinking, I awoke 
Beneath the sun's golden hue
Thinking, how I'd lose the memories 
Of times I'd spent with you

For, they're as precious as the flowers
That were my bed when I awoke
I think, that day,  I also  bloomed 
With a brand-new sense of hope

Years later, I was wandering 
Like Wordsworth's lonely cloud
Watching faces, & empty spaces 
Within the passing crowd

There was contemplation, & fascination 
And dreams of what could be
There was true stagnation, & liberation
For all the world to see

And all the healing hearts
Were floating in the air
Whispering of the cross
They no longer had to bear 

Now, free to drift along
without want or despair
Serendipitous little balloons
Of  hope, love, & repair

Then, one floated down
Like a gentle summer rain 
"Have we met before?" She said
And, so my life began again

Yes, my life began again
You'd found your way back home
And you whispered in my ear
We will never be alone

We will never be alone

You'd found your way back home…
