In My Heart
"In My Heart"
In my heart
the dark and light
In my mind
freedom rides
A glossary
of worlds
where white prayer books
long shelved are recalcitrant doves
held in the palms
rosaries bleed a
different meaning
when lips kiss beads
not real feeling
just words
repetitive, learn'ed
blow fish swimming
cajoling
knees kneeling
confessional
inward spun, reeling
In my heart
the dark and light
In my mind
freedom rides
I wait in the grace
of fire
ignited by light
from the past
a funeral pyre
set sail
cast away on tears
that make up
The Ocean
each droplet
a world
An Ode, divine devotion
salty diamonds are sinking like pearls
into the Deep
wisdom to be found
hidden amongst
more than all the grains of sand
in the Ocean
and all the stars
in the Sky
the heart of a mother
the mind of a girl
deep blue narcissus
reflections in your saltwater
are pearls ;
In my heart
the dark and light
in my mind
freedom rides
I wait in the grace
of fire
ignited by light
from the past
In my heart
the dark and light
in my mind
freedom rides
