Ebony Heart
My heart is made of Ebony
And my teeth are long
My bones are made of minerals
That seem harder than stone
The strong black wood
Of my heart
Is still young, it can grow
So I hope the core is green
So it bends as the winds blow
Bleeding heart, ever beating
This is how it transforms
I feel the bark peeling away
I am more for being less
Than I was before
My wings will carry me in flight
My heart will not fail
One day, may its color change
As it was once weak
Now it is hale
Truly, it is not
As black as coal
At least not all the way through
Beauty is in the eye
And never in what we behold
Oh ebony heart, you will not fail
You cannot, you shouldn't
For if you are not my friend
Then on whom can I depend?
