The Heart Is A Treasure

The heart is a treasure
Hopefully, never to be seen
It guides, beats life in a body
Where she is queen.

The mind may be king
But the heart, she is queen
Without her
The mind can’t do anything.

Giving life, birthing life
Holding life in between
No one lives a life without a heart
Hopefully, never to be seen.

Knows

I sit here and hope nothing will happen
Knowing well that is what will.

Not always the best but assured it will rest
In the arms of a heart that knows all
Knows best.

Your Heart

Celebrate your life
Celebrate yourself
See the world in your heart.

Tread upon the lifeline
Follow it to happiness
Let it reside in your heart.

Take nothing for granted
All of it has helped you
Find what lives in your heart.

Start celebrating your life
Celebrating
All that’s in your heart.

I Hear My Heart

Holding still and listening quietly
I hear my heart say everything.

Another Day Not The Same

Another day not the same
A cloud, a veil
Lifted
Now I see my terrain.

All is clear
My purpose, my direction
My refrain.

I sing and live
What gives me satisfaction
Gives me
A life to live.

I Cry, So I Cry

I feel the heaven and the lie
I know the answer I sigh
Nothing is respectful
Nor is it what I need to know
I cry
So I cry.

I see the heaven
I see the ocean’s die
I am part of the earth
Scotched, bleeding dry
That’s why, that’s when
I cry
So I cry

When I Think

When I think
My heart, my soul
Believe the right will come
Will be bestowed.

When I think can’t think
About what could have been
Can’t speculate on how
It came about
What now has been.

When I think I open up
My heart, my soul
To the world’s best
The light that guides
That lets me hear
The way to go.

When I think all is done
My heart, my soul
Laugh and say
Don’t ever think the best is gone
Or all hope is dead.

When I think, I know
We will survive, we will grow
We will make a life
The envy of
My heart, my soul.
