Conversation With My Heart

No fears, little vulnerable heart! Why do you hide? Why do you hide behind the railings? Why do you hide behind the railings of the golden cage when however the wicket is open? When however the wicket is gone? Shake off the shiver and open your big round eyes. Just a second ago you jumped around, you flew! Lightly as a butterfly. Together with this elegant golden bird. There! There outside over the fields of flowers. Come! Come with me! He is just sitting there, watching the sun. He is strolling up and down in his mind forests. Through the brush-wood he goes in swishing leaves collecting sunbeams. You own them too, little heart, those mind forests with exotic blossoms and birds composing your inner melody. Listen! See! Do you see the tie? The tie out of shimmering spidersilk? It is you two, the bird and you! Trust in the tie, it will carry you. Open your deep saucer eyes and let them be the birds mirror. He loves you during his walk through his own heart. Don't be afraid of him, don't be afraid of your tears. You will learn to trust your love, that blossoms and clears. by Lotte
