Mapping the Heart

 


Have you ever tried to map

the vast territory of your heart?



Examined its varied geography?

Searched its peaks and valleys?



Recalled how your journey began?

Reflected on the turns you've taken?



Did you follow the directions

you were given?



Have you reached your

desired destination?



Enjoyed the measured miles

along the long route?



Are you still planning new trips?

Do you remember the way home?

Woven



While walking
within the quiet,
I was gifted
with the golden threads
of a Canyon Wren's call
woven into the air
between canyon walls.



Just that one long song.
Then I was embraced
by silence
again.
