The Wreck That Once Was My Heart

None stays constant in this world.
Winds that used to pass by
Kindly brushing against the skin
Do not always stay a cool breeze.
A storm blows in and shakes the trees from their roots.
The sea that was calm but a while ago
Starts a fierce dance of doom.
Angry clouds cover the smiling Face of Sky.
The shrill cry of a fallen angel fills the air,
And the dark tears of Hell flood Eden on Earth.

None stays constant in this world.
Stormy winds drag the dark clouds away.
The angry hand of clouds
Wipes the tears off the Sky's Eye
And quietens the shrill wail of doom
The waves calm their lashing whips,
And instead caress the wounded shore.

None stays constant in this world.
What's left now is a wreck:
The wreck that once was my heart

Very lyrical and descriptive. I could visualise the picture with your words.
The nature imagery fluctuates yet seems to end with a beautiful image
'instead caress the wounded shore'
In keeping with this, your words would suggest that your 'heart' also isn't constant and can be healed.. just like the 'wounded shore'. You didn't stipulate this but I assume it is what you intended. That is.. if I understood this correctly. Voting up Smiley
