"Heart beats for others"

 "Heart beats for others" 

Why do hearts beat for others when others know it not,

why do feelings grow and stifle when the prospect is so wrong,

wrong because unanswered, wrong because its only giving,

wrong because the song of living takes us by surprise, forgiving

only when its over to oneself who danced in clover

and the love subsides inside you to make carpets in the mind,

e'en though we're all so blind to its facets now divined

as futile in this dance of love's fine graces from the vine

of human fantasies so magic when we see through all, 

its then we grab at straws and bend our paws

to fight the cause again, in spite of all the rain again,

in spite of all the disappointments, brave again, 

we stand and sing our praise again, to nature's 

simple answer then, she gently gives reply and says

don't die, there's more, there's someone knocking at the door

make haste and open it ...........once more.
