Description

These stories and ideas on life all threaten to fade if not penned down. Even so, to put my thoughts in pen is to share them, and send them off in the wind.

To Find a Heart

Where's my heart, For I can't find it.
I've lost it to the breeze.
I've run a thousand miles
To a place already seen.
I play the part of puppeteer;
I'm the puppet on the string,
Tangled in my web of roles,
Woven masks to which I cling.

Where’s my heart; I yearn to find it,
I’m running once again.
Life pulls from all directions
Till I’m stuck in a still-stand.
I dig a ditch only to fill it,
With all my empty plans;
Each day striving forward,
Building houses out of sand.

Sunset in the distance
Stops me in my sprint.
Questions form and fill my mind
As I gaze at light’s last glint:

How did this crazy race begin?
Where did my way part?
How can life so quickly spin?
Where did I leave my heart?
