Frozen Heart

Down through the ages a story is told

Of a great warrior with courage untold;

A warrior whose heart was turned to ice

Then was brought to thaw

Then re-froze thrice.

So much hurt the warrior sustained

At his heart place, that bitterness reigned

With hell-hounds upon his great heart trained,

That no pure-hearted maiden would deign

To reach inside to thaw him once more.

And so the great warrior, pained so sore

Froze himself down to his great core,

Awaiting the day when the Goddess Compassion

Would restore him in fullest fashion

To what he really was inside.

Perhaps you, like he, wish to be through

From all the aches and pains in you.

Maybe everything you feel

Will help you learn to hurt and to heal.

Perhaps you are warrior, too.

Look in the mirror,

Embattled You.
