Guarding the Heart from the King
By J.Ko
(This was just a random story I wrote one day while working in the Zone last week)
She guards her heart
Refusing to let the king and his court
See the truest colors of her golden heart
She tried her hardest to express her kindness and gratitude
Serving them with a polite smile, respect, and friendship
Never once really shouting her inner most thoughts
Most certainly never wanting to disrupt the peace
Even when she didn't always agree with the King's decisions
She only showed her most sincerity towards him
Respecting him and supporting
Of at least tried to show him she supported him
Throughout his trials and tribulations
Yet deep down
She could see beyond his crystal sapphires
That shielded his soul from the rest of the world
Regardless if he refused to demonstrate
His softer, gentler side to the world
She knew that man existed
However she knew the King
Wouldn't let the world or his men see
Most likely the land wouldn't understand it
Nevertheless who was she
She was just a mere servant to the land
Reporting the news
Entertaining the crowd like a jester
A scholar in training
Who observed the people in the land
With an open mind and heart
Seeing things differently from others
So she's been told
Refusing to get caught up in the King's web
Acting like the norm
Continuing to live her life & holding her own
Oh but deep down
She did hold her secrets that
Would take a wise man to unlock
She may not wear her heart on her sleeve
Nor express the feelings of the heart
She was enjoying not being in the spotlight
For she did not truly despise the King at all
There was something more
She knew what she wanted to tell the King
Yes the would be a private matter of the heart
Still it wouldn't be something she'd share openly
The only way she'd share it
Would be on a few terms
Maybe when all the fall leaves come off the trees
Or when it rains in this drought
Or maybe when he goes for over 200, with a 55+
And get half her age in combined attacks
She'd unlock the mystery to the King
Nevertheless she knew the truth of it all
When would the King see
She could see beyond his front
And not go anywhere because she understood
Come to surface again
Would she have to confront him about it
With the busy lives of the land
There'd never be the time for the realistic points
To be addressed
Doubt she'd even be heard
She was only a servant to the land
She wasn't of hierarchy
She didn't fit in with the King's men or ladies
Nor did she aspire to be
She wanted SO much more
She only wanted to fit in with the Heavenly King
She wasn't someone graveling at his feet
Begging to serve him at the drop of a hat
She was someone who did speak her mind to him
Still she had her reservations
Beyond reality
She knew she had to guard her heart
Hide her emotions and feelings
Stand firm in her convictions and morals
Continuing to live, work, train, & serve
Never changing to please another
Staying focused on her ambitions
As she had been doing
Before she even knew the King
All she knew was
She had to be careful
And not get her hopes up
Only pray the King
Could one day see
He was more than what
He appeared to the world to be
He was a man of faith and worth
Most importantly
He too had a servant's heart of gold
He just had to take his crown off
But that day
Will be the day
When he sees
That every mystery
Is full of beauty, grace, love
And has the ability to be solved
