The Heart seldom fails

originality seizes the world
the way the sculptor chisels
a block of wood to reveal
his vision, the beauty behind it

the work becomes the proof
of his idea and it lends a stage
for the world to stand on
shine on like a diamond

this heart is a boundless field
for original thoughts to shower on
the eyes see, the mind perceives
and reasons, but it is the heart, the heart, is the one
hardest to convince - it turns an avert face
once a less than perfect idea knocks
on its door

the world is cast with a heart
and it's a heart that shall determine
its fate and fortune, and it seldom fails
