The Patient Heart

 In  the ocean of spirits, 

 We found a heart. 

 In the sea of life, 

  We found a soul. 

 Following the wind, 

 We followed the calling. 

 For only when exploring, 

 Can you find home. 

 In speaking of science, 

 In speaking of living, 

 In speaking of loving, 

 We spoke the truth. 

 In the bonds of laughter, 

 In the bonds of friendship, 

  In the bonds of faith, 

 Finding freedom of youth. 

 Time took a backseat, 

 Because Earth is the stage, 

 Where we might add, 

 Good things to Heaven.

 For each soul is endless, 

 But the heart sees forever, 

 Then the moment stood still, 

 For time is illusion. 

 We watched as she listened, 

 We listened as she spoke,

 Each chance to gain more, 

 Being nothing but joy, 

 What is to long for, 

 What is to live for, 

What is to love for,

 We are faith is employed.

 Kindred spirits,

 Who found soulmates, 

 From each other, 

 Will not depart, 

 It all begins, 

 From choosing joy, 

 This is the wisdom, 

 Of the patient heart. 

Just Listen

 

The voices,

Of the hearts,

Of the rhythm,

From the start,

Feeds the waves,

Of the raves,

Of life that craves.

From the voices,

Making choices,

Amidst the noises,

Making silence,

Filling meaning,

With ears ringing,

Blocking us,

From those beside us.

Stop and listen,

Magic will glisten,

Showing stars,

Within your days,

Allowing life,

To surpass strife,

Bringing meaning,

From wisdom gleaning,

And heart singing,

To all your days.

So to others,

And to yourself,

Give your heart’s ear,

And nothing else,

Through the laughter,

And the cries,

You will make out,

The Voice on High,

So let it dawn,

It is not gone,

It is life’s song.
