Heart Rebounds Poem by Sean Green

Heart Rebounds



Angels still have a heart
and a faith that may depart
if the world damns this soul
beyond the limits of their will

the vaulted heavens aren't enough
to sway the spirit from despair
when mere mortals are much worse
than imps from realms far below

eternity is the sentence's span
for the ones self-condemned
found divorced from the grace
of salvation the high embrace

still some hope must persist
to save the lowest from their ilk
in this place the lost are found
and once again the heart rebounds.
