For Jill

Sometimes, the tough heart isn’t hardened

From without, but cauterized from within

A fire there burning so hot, so madly

It simply crusts over, looking hard

To the impatient eye.


Yet for those willing to stand firm

Bound to the earth by faith in what

You know must be there, the reward,

Now uncontained, is a tender stampede

Of all you wished for.
