Journey To The Center of The Heart
By: Alphonso Gowah
Space….
Dark and gloomy.
The downfall of one’s heart may never be replaced,
as provocative thoughts sink my heart into an Abyss…
Wishing to see light, but may never be recovered.
Whichever may be greater,
Weather sorrow or joy…
My heart is a victim to them both.
As sorrow sits on my heart,
It seems as if joy was never part…
Part of my heart that yearns to be happy.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break
That its heart may stand in the sun
So must it be as my heart endures pain.
As they say, the heart connects the soul to the world.
The brokenness of my heart brings my soul to unwanted deeds.
So I cry for refuge in a place filled with darkness.
Surrounded with the sins of the world,
No escape, as they pull me beneath the surface.
Strength……my heart needs strength.
The outside of this heart comes joy and laughter,
As one breaks the nut, many contents are revealed.
So my heart pours out the sorrows of this world
And the cries of many souls.
