A hidden heart

Beats,

Beats 

Between the walls

Of the soul.

 

Pitter 

Patter, 

Pitter

Pat.

Thump 

Th-thump 

 

The cogs come to life.

Light begins to flow

From the hidden heart.

It illuminates this endless, cavernous

Container, beginning to burn brightly -

Brighter -

Than before.

 

Tick

Tock,

Tick

Tock,

Dead -

Lock.

 

Silver streams

Flow from

The heart

That is hidden no longer.

 

It swirls, swirls

Into the star-scarred sky.
