I asked my heart why I could not hear love's music -- It told me because I was not listening to the beat.
So, I asked my heart what would happen if I danced -- It told me love would remove those two left feet.
I asked my heart how, once broken, could I take a chance -- It told me I only needed to be willing to make a new start.
So, I asked my heart why I couldn’t listen to my head -- It told me my thoughts were in the gray in matters of the heart.
I asked my heart why I could not trust my eyes -- It told me someone’s heart is more than just skin deep.
So, I asked my heart if size is something that matters -- It told me to ask the baby in mother's arms as it sleeps.
I asked my heart why it always felt like it was somewhere in the red -- It told me one needed to know pain to recognize true love again.
So, I asked my heart why it ever had to be broken and left for dead -- It told me the wonder of a heart was, if desired, it would mend.
I asked my heart why it seemed to be a traitor to me always -- It told me it was a gift, and not betrayal, for a heart to be lovingly stolen.
So, I asked my heart if it was time for it to again be offered away -- It told me hope springs eternal when a new doorway is fearlessly opened.
I asked my heart how to enter the fire and know how not to get burned -- It told me a heart risks all to love again and finds the will to never look back.
So, I stopped asking my heart questions and just listened to what it said --
It whispered into my soul...
It's 5 a.m., do you know where your heart is at?

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
