Winds fierce upon my weary brow
I go not knowing what lies in wait
trudging through the winter's snow
it might be a waste and much too late
But I travel onward, never slowing
toward my looming fate unbound
the after shock ever glowing
my heart is steady my body is sound
Through the fires of hell's breath I go
I carry his heart in a hopeful embrace
battling the wicked and wounding foe
careful to keep its beat at full pace
A light up ahead--a beckoning beacon
I smile a wane and longing smile
bury my head against the wind beseeching
I have but only a few last miles
Reach the gates of the warmth and light
holding on to my precious treasure within
I pull open the door with vigorous might
and step over the threshold of kin
Alas! I'm here! I call out in echo
not a word responds my rasping shout
I peer and wander around corners go
but no one and nothing is about
The place is empty of laughter and love
just a small ember of fire ablaze
no glowing remnants of candles above
the cinders could have been burning for days
I fall to my knees in weep and in loss
clutching his heart close to mine own
has he forsaken me and undoubtedly toss'd
this woman's heart he promised to home?
A pressure on my shoulder is felt
a warmth on my back is placed
ensconcing me as I slowly melt
into the strength of my love's embrace
He is here! Oh joy, I turn to his face
to see those loving and generous eyes
the soul of which I cannot replace
He has brought me to this moment tonight
Rapture.
