Listen to Your Heart

My heart opens with the song of the wind,
silently as the squirrel moves through the forest
with only a very faint ripple in the leaves
as she takes a daring leap.
Listen to those quiet ripples
Listen to your heart
As it takes a daring leap
Through the forest of your soul.
When you hear, you will feel
The overflowing presence
of universal intelligence
coursing through your veins.
Does the heart wait for recognition
before taking its next beat?
Do stars ask permission
to light up the night sky?
What are you waiting for?
