Treasonous Heart
-By Linda Lee Lyberg
Treason is a blow that comes unexpectedly
Heart, its dreams and wishes
Listen
Never fear
Listen to heart, heart, hearts become fearful
Moments could have been good
Treasures might have been found
Forever hidden
Look up at the moonless sky
No heart has ever suffered
When it goes in search of its dreams.

Original text is The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho
Today, Victoria is hosting at dVerse poets pub and has presented a wonderful challenge. Some blackout or erasure poetry.
