My Wayward Heart

A heart gone astray

If I wander from you-
from us;
there would be no presage,
I would just be lost.
Look for my wayward heart.
by chance, bring it to light.
like a jewel, a treasured love.

Even hearts go astray-but
never flawless,
exposed to poison'
and open to fail,
but not hopeless.
A quest to rekindle
a new found passion.

Bring me your gift
of lighting my heart.
Remind me of veracity.
Don't relinquish your devotion
of what we always shared-
forgive my wayward heart.
