Analysis of Of The Heart
In the midst of all this turmoil that we call life
there has always been one constant value that never varies.
It can neither be touched nor seen,
all may partake,
but none can control.
It is freely given,
but far to expensive to buy,
it cannot be bartered or traded for.
If you seek it out,
it is not to be found,
stop your search,
and there it is.
What could this thing be?
Is it for real?
Can I have it?
Will it last?
The answer is
And only if you are very fortunate.
