A Place

There is a place harbored solely by my heart.
It is peaceful, unhurried, free of every fear.
'Tis magnitudes more when you are near.

There is a calmness and serenity about you
that is all-seeing, penetrates my very being
and fixes me on what's worth achieving.

If I listen with mindful intent,
I can hear counsel whispered gentle.
It is direct, seasoned, and unsentimental.

Humbled, graced I am to host such a heart
with a place that pathfinds my course.
In humility I praise and thank the source.
