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

And looks 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.
