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?
