Poem ~ A Constant Heart

Here it is
All the willpower and
muscle
I need to
fight for you
my love:
my constant heart

Not grown overnight
My gift to you

Seasons return
The tides ebb and flow
But there is nothing
inevitable 
about the human heart

A constant heart is a sword 
that pierces the enemy
mortally

A constant heart is 
a book of truth
filled with 
life's answers

A constant heart
sees you
Beneath your worst surface

A constant heart
Always retrieves
the good lost
and
protects
the good gained

Shifting hearts
Are sea changes
Lives set adrift
Shipwrecks on the rocks

Shifting hearts
are death
They poison 
What is green, and growing,
And could be

Every good thing starts out
in infancy
Weak and vulnerable,
Unfit to survive
Life or death,
a gamble

Into this uncertainty,
I give you 
my constancy

I give you my constant heart
