Feast of a Heart

Happiness to Live

Forever in an endless sea of words and lies

Who to believe?

Who to listen?

Within the sea, a beautiful voice comes.

It whispers a sweet, sweet song

Of lovely promises for the future

Of amazing treats for what lies ahead.

Drawn to the voice, I fight my way toward it.

The act tires me, forcing me to stop.

Looking around, the voice wanes in and out,

Becoming louder and softer all in the same moment.

Where could it be?

The song was my hope and as the voice waned, so did my hope.

I almost lost the drive to find the voice, but

The woman who's voice I had heard appears before me.

She touches my face, lighting up my being.

My life found meaning as quickly as it had seemed to end.

This beautiful creature has awakened a purpose in me.

I am to strive for a life I want to live.

Happiness is all I ask.
