Keys to the Heart
A Poem on Trust
Trust is a difficult gift to give. Once broken, the task is nearly impossible. The heart is a precious commodity that we have to keep locked.
However, there are entities that we cannot live with, yet cannot live without - human beings. How do we decide when we can give away the keys to the heart to them?
These cinquains have the answer.
Locked heart
Only opens
When it joins another
That speaks the truth with open doors
And beats
Locked heart
Only opens
When it joins another
That does what it says it will do
Today
Locked heart
Only opens
When it joins another
That says 'sorry' with truthfulness
And thought
Locked heart
Only opens
When it joins another
That respects another's rights to
Silence.
