Troth Of The Heart

 

Sunbeam threads across our clasped hands—  

to trust the best,  

to hope the best,  

to cherish the best.  

 

Some call it foolish optimism;  

some brand it blind devotion;  

some whisper infatuation.  

 

Yet—this truth escapes the sceptics:  

what the heart chooses to believe,  

the mind begins to see.  

 

I press my palm to your chest,  

feel hope’s soft stir beneath your breath.  

 

And in believing still,  

we find our wings—  

the magic of love sets us free.
