tender heart

he’s been told, a tender heart
will get through thunder bending,
will dive the depths and fly the highs,
will love without depending

he’s been told, when he falls deep
to spread his wings and fly,
his tender heart will levitate
to watch the storm pass by

he’s been told, passion serves life,
a paradox worth smiling for
life’s purpose might be life itself
in endless search of something more

he’s been told, his dreams are real
when he’s asleep real tight,
after it set, the sun will rise
in his mind’s world each night
