Robert Waltrip Poet Free verse

Catching My Heart

I’ve lost my heart among the woods,
Where now it flutters in the drafts
And moves about close secrets kept
Within the floras’ whispered breath.

I know because there glimpses break
Between the bark-skinned living things,
Where there it flows from one to next
In jubilant discovery.

I feel it yet, though standing yon,
Of how the boughs absorb the sun
Among the shafted beams of light
That pierce the hazy, busy air.

Despite observing, yet I sense
The stirring of euphoria
That rises from the forest floor
To giant heights within my heart.

I think that I should join with it
If I can catch it in a pause,
For time can pass so ever slow
And ever speed to its demise.
