for my friend, b


i'm holding your heart
in the palm of my hand-
like a treasure with strings 
of pearls and shining diamonds

i'm holding your heart 
in the palm of my hand-
beating as it does
alone in the night

i'm holding your heart
in the palm of my hand-
weeping like rain
as the mystery unfolds

i'm holding your heart
in the palm of my hand-
holding it high
to the night
and the fierceness
of blue visions

i'm holding your heart
in the palm of my hand-
and listening as it speaks
from far, far away

i'm holding your heart
in the palm of my hand-
seeing courage
and faith

keeping it close, close
to mine
