Heart’s Desire
One day while in a downcast mood
I walked in mountain solitude
Absorbed within deep heartache
Particular paths I did not take
Late the hour on that day
Recalling not footstep’s way
When open eyes I could not keep
Dreamlessly did I sleep
Awakened by morning’s light
Untold beauty awed my sight
Alpine meadow sweet and fair
Surely God’s very lair
On every blade dew did glisten
Choral birds bade me listen
Such majesty in that place
Heart’s response flushed my face
Deep inner rhythms stirred my soul
I lived complete within a whole
The sun climbed high upon the sky
Before my tears began to dry
And as I rose to take my leave
Once again, did I grieve
To leave such beauty far behind
Made no sense to the mind
It begged a flower me to take
Wanting one such small keepsake
Gently from within my breast
Loving words from the Guest
To cast a ripple on this pool
Would be the act of a fool
True contact won’t fit a sack
To be carried on your back
Mind’s desire for history
Is the living death of me
Tomorrow today will be the past
Your memory can’t make it last
This moment holds a choice for you
The options are only two
Going back from whence you came
Or heart’s desire if you’re game
Though walking now on unknown ground
A joyful magic I have found
The mystery of that lair
Heart reveals everywhere
