Hearts play a part in mysterious life. <br />Beating, yet frozen for years, they survive. <br />At times a momentary flutter appears <br />With unfolding warmth, but then fears <br />Of exposure begin, and cold-as-ice <br />Glassy doors slam shut, holding in vice-like <br />Jaws unloved hearts. Then one marvellous day <br />Sweet lightning strikes, sends love and straying <br />Rainbows pierce a way in, gently they break <br />And melt the hard shell. Love then re-creates <br />A different place, a pulsating heart. <br />Which now unfolded, means loving can start.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-unfolding-heart/
