Heart

 

"Thunder"

 Thunder

A template, a reflection of

Relentless as the need for love

That which shakes us in this life

Amidst the horrors of the strife

The empathy will never yield

Relief from pain is centerfield

I do it in a shroud

You do it right out loud

To bring the joy to millions

You sing of Troy cotillions

You push away the pain of all

By bringing ecstasy to fall

Among the crowds

Branded in the land of many

Slowly, I moved through the plenty

Thrashing through the pain to find its source

I've learned the difference now 'tween love and force

Amidst the shrouds

Just like me, you wish to turn heart inward

Instead, you turn and face the pain at windward

You celebrate your heart in desperation

I celebrate the next in devastation

Now, I know, again, another way

In which my heart goes out to you today
