Happy Valentine's Day to All

The In-Between

The In-Between

In between that world and this
We feel the secret, the unknown bliss
We seek to find what can't be found
Here as our feet walk on this ground.

We know there's more than what we see
And what has been is what will be
So we reach out with tangible arms
And strive to touch those intangible charms.

And they elude us but sometimes give
Such high strange mysteries to the lives we live
And though we're frightened at what may show
We travel deeper for we want to know.

Not all may see, not all may hear
The things we do with a gifted ear
They may never see or know what we mean
By existing both here and in The-In-Between.

The Giving and The Taking of the Heart

The Giving and the

                          Taking of the Heart

I gave him my heart, not thinking

About what the man might do

I only knew I had to do it

Not if he was faithful and true.

I handed him all that I had

I put it in his hand

I didn't think of danger

Didn't have a plan.

I only knew I loved him

Only knew I cared

Didn't know if he loved me back

Or if he'd stay right there.

I took a chance I'd never taken

I gambled with my fate

I ran headlong into his arms

I couldn't seem to wait.

Because he seemed so special

So wonderful and good

I didn't want to walk away

I didn't think I could.

So I put my heart at great risk

Not knowing what he'd do

I held my breath and waited

To see if my dreams came true.

Then he smiled a smile big as the world 

Which gave me quite a start

And he said I have something for you, too

And he handed me his heart.

And I stood there in the sunlight

As love mended my wounded soul

While he cradled my heart like a diamond

And I held his like the purest of gold.

I guess sometimes you must take a chance

Like I did that fateful day

For why have a heart all full of love

If you can't give that love away?

Only the love of another

Be it woman, child or man

Can fill your heart and empty it

And fill it once again.

For love must be replenished

By a source that's not your own

As you fill up another's heart

Before all their love is gone.

Supply and demand is the way that it is

And that lesson you learn at life's start

You  must give out your love if you want some love back

For that's the way that the Lord made the heart.
