Heart Sill

The human heart like a window sill

May be often touched but thought of only

When we are silent and still.

And so it’s left abandoned and dirty,

Sleeve-worn in faded neglect,

Chipped and bowed from heavy leaning

It waits in silent regret.

The stories it could tell if only asked

Will fade into the stains.

With no guardian

To wonder, watch , or wait

The sill that’s broken and beaten

May crumble to ruin

In vain.
