Where is Your Heart

You tell me your mouth can sing a tune

That tricks an angel into thinking heaven moved

as she starts to pack her things

And spreads her wings

But where is your heart?

Can I hear your heart?

You tell me you can lift

 your weight and mine in tragedy

and carry it forever without putting it down

You can be stabbed with sorrow’s sword and never frown

But where is your heart?

Can I hold your heart?

You know words so large,

they bulge out of margins

and that’s okay,

 because you can tailor their pages in such a fancy way

But where is your heart?

Can I read your heart?

Can you show me a smile

Those words have magically marked on a face?

Can you show me the goosebumps

That formed when your travelling voice

reached the soul beneath another’s flesh?

Where is your heart?

Can you show me your heart?

All this strength and talent you carry

Mean very little to me

 if your heart

isn’t big enough for distant eyes to see.

So put your heart inside 

everything you share

and help love move the world
