Avalanche of a Heart

(Avalanche of Heart's Desire)

Walked in this valley for such a long time
in contentment with silent resignation.
The mountainous life slopes ever in view;
of man’s visuals, I held marked reservations.

Plain of face, with life giving aged lines,
and now carrying an extra few pounds.
Man’s lofty ideas of a perfect woman
riding high while I strolled near the ground.

Then came a man sliding down a slope
His words enticing as an aurora sky.
The avalanche of my heart’s desire
seeing beauty where it once grew shy.

Taking my hand, with a show of strength,
He led me to a wondrous plateau.
He showed me sights so long unseen
that I forgot the lonely meadow below.

You can call it poetry or you can call it journaling. Either way, if you can't put your feelings down on paper. What good is it. I champion your heart in every write. Peace. :)
