Everyone journeys long to find
The thing that heals both soul & mind
The healer of all things
Keeping hearts from falling
Into the bottomless pits of hell
No one man can ever tell
No two men can explain
It’s warmth & pain the exact same
Now what exactly is this healer?
What’s been named this fate dealer?
We all have seen or heard it before
It hides behind that secret door
Deep inside that dormant part
Of our ever pumping heart
It sits and waits, it bides it’s time
It walks & paces till it’s time to shine
You see the way it takes hold of him
How he thirsts to fulfill your every whim
You want to give him your heart too
But your brain says, “This just won’t do”
It orders the door to stay shut
It says it must follow it's gut
The healer bangs and releases roars
It must get through that secret door
It yells & whine’s its partners near,
That it is not something you should fear
At last it breaks through and is released
You finally see it’s no fearsome beast
It’s a little thing many call love
It’s what you’ve asked of the Gods above
As your heart and feelings ascend
You then realize that this is not the end…
