Rhapsody

Ricochets of the heart

As waves of this life that rush on over me

The tides of the times that will set the soul free

And give to the heart that one reason to go

As on we progress just so soft and so slow

The tempest of life always plays its own part

In the wild, unrestrained ricochets of the heart

The message of hope that is cryptically sent

Through the glow of the heart that's so clear with intent

The rainbow of colors that felt so profound

Like a flicker of light and the surfs as they pound

A wave of your hand and a thousand hearts flutter

The heart rocks once more, as volcano would shudder

The heart has been caught, a full trip, sudden stutter

And, then it begins with that rumble and mutter

Of well-tested times and the whirlwind of days

Of shallowest shores and an ocean that plays

As I turn and I look, in flies a new dart

I stumble to knees, ricochets of the heart

The wonder is there, that I never will doubt

The pages of script I will just do without

For etched in the heart from those lives and all times

Are scribed with the deep fundamental of rhymes

The trip-hammered heart, not a single bit less

And, passion for life will go on, I confess

I arch to the sky with the wind through my hair

Arms out open wide, I embrace all I care

A tremble is there, now, I feel, from the start

Whenever in flies ricochets of the heart

I'll shout down the heavens that dare disagree

For there, in the heart, is the place I shall be

Just frolic and dance, all the pain will depart

As I feel, just once more, ricochets of the heart

No tepid warm heart is this fierce heart of mine

It flares and it burns, and so brightly does shine

To while away hours, at piddle and chore

Not while the notes sing, far away, to the score

Within such a life, I stand calmly apart

And catch, just once more, ricochets of the heart
