Path
of the Heart
(Title
sonnet of 'Flowers in the Wind II')
Most dangerous is the path of the heart
But no path runs so true.
In love's name great ventures embark
To the ends of the earth as I to you.
For you see, love is the eternal thread.
Which links the hearts of all mankind
And if abandoned by a world mislead
Fear and destruction we'll find.
More dangerous though is the break of the heart;
Lost love can tear any eye.
The scar left behind is a horrible mark
Within which all bitterness lies.
But I shall pursue the path of the heart.
The struggle is worth the reward.
