The Heart Has Wings

absence makes the heart to grow wings
after longing for love and care,
when it’s done playing hide and seek
after picking up sticks and stones.

You should see the heart when it flies,
absence makes the heart to grow wings
just to reach the one that heals it
just to reach the one that breaks it.

to end temptation, one must fall
to connect dots one must draw lines
absence makes the heart to grow wings
it flies far away at a spot

missing points are points that miss shots.
hearts must move; crawl, run, fly, roll, walk,
in whatever you do, just move,
absence makes the heart to grow wings
