The strongest, most resilient cords
Heartstrings
The binding of love
the gateway to freedom
to be our authentic selves
Through the years the heart
with tethered memories soars
then comes home to roost
We are all connected
by threads of Love
If I were to write a friendship poem
filled with joy, love
my deep appreciation
And hide it in the pocket of your shirt
or prop it up on the table
where you eat your breakfast
What a little thing
that would be
Yet shift happens
Like a butterfly’s fluttering wing
that one small act moves mountains
eventually or sooner
As you come to know a little more
how very much you are loved
Imagine a place beyond, if you will
Beyond skewed perceptions
beyond all judgments of you and me
There, in that glade with softened light
where dappled and delightful dwell
I’ve found moments of serenity
Bubbling creek of understanding running by
The sweet smell of harmony filling my senses
And ever present, the sounds
and caress of peace
softening my knowing with Love
Every morning
May you be showered
With delicate petals
Of Love’s sweet remembrance
For truly shown
And never spent
That flowering bush
Ever grows in my heart
arose like a fist
