Mahogany Hearts
Sun glows on mahogany hearts,
bent, searching for a reason,
to lift their chins and smile.
Ever ready, to embrace
each moment life lends them
and make it larger, stronger.
Dusk falls on mahogany hearts,
and their eyes close in slumber,
as energy fades and smiles dim,
leaving far behind youth's peace,
but renewing spirits as bright
as morning sun's rise.
Friends, soul and spirits matched,
misty mahogany aura's blended
as time solidifies them into
burnished, mahogany hearts.
