The Star and the Rose

You would think
That a heart
Could feel itself in bloom
You would believe
That a soul
Could discover a place to call home
*
But what if
The heart was lost
Amongst a field of roses
What if
The soul was wandering
Through the midnight hue of stars
*
You would hope
That a heart
Could find itself in love
Warm and embraced
By a hand that would never let go
Yet willing to let it thrive alone
*
You would desire
That a soul
Would find the place it always searched for
Comforted and secure
Amongst it’s brethren in a family
Yet cherished by one far away
*
Would one still childishly believe
That a heart
And a soul
Could be separated by so much difference
To find a place to each call their own
Yet find themselves paired in wonderful unison
*
That one would draw strength from being held
The other to collect itself in a land defined as heaven
That one would define the most vibrant of hue
While the other stands in dreams above
That one could be held so close
And be touched by one so far
*
You would think, that a heart and a soul
Could forever find themselves together
That a stranger laying in a field would observe
A simple rose and a star
And know without doubt
That true love could span any distance
