A Courageous Heart

A chance wind sends yellow leaves aquiver

Against the high blue sky

Stirs my heart aflutter too

Amidst the melodic soughing

 

Pondering what the universe brings into my life…and why

My heart speaking in terms I can ascertain

Clearly supporting patience and acceptance

As they permeate the field

 

A willingness to let go

Follow the whisper of the wind

Where doubt becomes faith

And fear subsides as my place in the universe becomes clearer

 

Where the melting influence

Softens the insistence of maneuvering to get what I want

Softens the defense against wounding

Softens the intellectual stance

 

So, here I sit

Willing to engage without specifications and criteria

Just feeling the breeze blow through my heart

Bringing strength and steadfastness to love regardless
