My Hand On My Heart-Mystic

At the dead end of broken road, losing hope
my introspecting mind took a disengaging view
of life wandering in wasteland, trying to cope
with trying times to reach the destination new.

I heard someone from within say, explore around,
acquiesce with the searing surge of dormant desire.
So, travelling across the landscape of life I found
you in dew-drenched meadow donning spring attire.

Trailing your footprints I traced a new pathway,
while the rising sun splashed colors on your face,
enticing me to see the tinge of first love on display,
in the arms of yearning we were locked in embrace.

I lifted my buoyant mind from the craving debris,
when the ordained time came for me to depart.
I then knew where my life would be taking me
as I would walk away with my hand on my heart.
