If my heart were opened and one would look inside,
There would then be seen all I guard and hide.
Everywhere would be, indelibly inscribed;
Indicative of a presence, neither forced nor bribed.

For it's what's desired by most without success.

It must remain obscure and out of others' sight.
For if it were to venture outside the guarded lair,
It could be destroyed or damaged beyond repair.

There are others many, who would gladly undermine
Its sanctity and beauty, its purity so divine.
But its greatest threat lies within the soul it claims,
Pride with fear and doubt, among defying names.

And so, the battle must go on, the protection kept in place,
Until and if the day should come, the receiver doth embrace
