Where Lies The Heart......

(inspired by a special friend) 😇  

and if you ask,  
I truly don't know where your heart is........
 
 
…....an observation (it's probably not even my place to say)  
 
but if you scratch just below the surface  
of your quietness,  
that imposed, expected convention  
 
(therein lies your quiet place to play)  
 
 
could that be our connection?,  
found in every phrase or line  
that you sing?  
It's in the music......  
 
....I can see it in your eyes  
and it comes as no surprise  
that which many claim to see  
feels so real to me, it's in empathy  
 
You and I  
are some sort of distant kindred  
Libra souls juxtaposed  
in a similar time and place  
 
hiding in plain view,  
you see me and I see you  
straddling the seams  
of convention and dreams  
in an attempt to  
wear brave faces  
 
trying to  
dot every “i”,cross every “t”  
staying inside the “blurred lines”,  
dare not traverse the spaces  
 
(everything they want us to be)  
 
and it shows....  
 
…...and for all our differences, still I know 😉  
in the end  
as paradigms shift  
and altruistic ideals  
tend to move and bend  
 
other than God almighty,
as people come and go
it's only you that my heart  
will truly trust.......  
  
…...hence the reason that I call you my "friend”
