the art of love

 The struggles of life are written on this heart of mine
Scars, unknowingly healed by the comfort of friends
Wounds, all so wittingly re-opened by snakelike words

The art of my soul ever molding this heart of mine
Songs, my spirit sings out to future lovers
Dance, twirl across the floor to the inner beat

The omniscient God has healed this heart of mine
Words, speaking to me from the page guide me
Lessons, shaping who I will become

Write your words on this heart of mine
Listen to the song it sings
Guide this heart of mine forward
And teach it the meaning of love
