A Hero's Heart

by Dale Midkiff

I stare across
That solitary broken plain
Each and every dawn
Saddled with his thorn
Trembling lathered messenger
Churns up wind stressed tears
Always searching for
A hero's heart.

As a dark stranger bleeds
Hope lays near death
Dreams of sage and sweet grass swirl
Around eyes of forgiveness
Clutching a tangled wreath
On tender brow
That can only crown
A hero's heart.Begging the maker
For just one gentle breath
It is whispered
We will walk together
Past that trail of blood
In shadowed truth we find
A hero's heart.
