Wandering into Wonder

Wire and thorns surround her heart

and I'm longing to find my way inside,

but with no entrance or footpath to find

I'm left to ponder what mystery she hides.

Does the steely wall of mismatched rock

exist to contain secrets to herself

or is it to invite the bravest in,

putting their wonder above their health?

I step over the barbed line of defense
and into the place where I feel most at home
and although I can see there's no-one around
my senses make me feel far from alone.

She is my heart, my fingertips and my spine
and I feel like a king so high in her pine.
