Hearts of Light

sWOllEn hearts weep
then sleep

all that gLITters seems bRIGHT
in DARK OF NIGHT

aWAKENed at soME wee hour
rain makes a NEW FACE at the window
then erases it
THEn anOTHER NEW one
all for new eyes
until the WINDOW
SMILES BACK

wINdow FACES MAKE LIGHT
from streetlights

ALL that HAPPINESS
HIGHer than streetlight
from that height
FLOWS
down
TO EARTH
