These Hearts...

They beat soft and strong. They have the ability to believe on past what is seen. They cling to true promise and design. They do not waver... and though they may struggle at times... they do not fail. They are ripe for the vultures that look for cracks in their armor. Vultures that stand at the ready sniffing out the disease of loneliness that encases itself in beauty. Knowing that a few words and easy action will be enough to overcome the garbage that is available out there. That it will be enough to hide their selfish mal-intention long enough to seal the deal.

These hearts give their all only to be tossed aside on the cheap after the thrill is gone... when things get real. Left to suffer under a cloud of dissalussionment and doubt. Hearts that are designed to beat under the banner of purpose are slowly being suffocated by selfishness and greed. To my own detriment and loss, I've always endeavored to be the opposite of all that. To show these hearts that there are still (even if only a few left) men that see value in all they are. Men that will speak and show true loves design expressed in honor and passion. That would rather lose a thousand times over than break what God has beautifully and wonderfully made. Never to be walked on but always at the ready to show support, love and release as best they can. Remaining wise in the "doing"...

To these hearts I say: It was not all your fault. You did as your heart was designed to do. What its superpower was created to do... you loved with abandon and hope. With a love so rare, so "meant to be"... whose value has no price as it is given freely. Never shut off that spigot of hope, fire, desire and passion. Keep it alive and weep for those that lost it. Live and love as though you've no scars at all but keep those scars as life lessons branded into your souls skin. To now see through eyes of hope and passion matured. A maturity through experience that allows you the greater insight needed for even greater light and fire. To be able to shout out "here is my fire... and it now sees you bastards from miles away". Live on...love strong and only accept all you are worthy of. I will always believe in you... even when you can't. Even in the distance... even in the silence. With love...
