Why Empty
What do you do when courage is spent
and the only hint of fire lies
in the glowing remnants
of a heart torn
by life?
Only
the heart's first
dreams died with tears
leaving the rest no outburst
but sighs whispering secrets unheard
except by the tender angel sent
to watch over an earthling
so tired that he can't
hear angel wings
flying
upward
to the very
throne of God, which sits
empty because God has already
found a new one in that heart life-torn.
