Listening to every heart

It starts easily enough
In waking to the chirp of
Early morn, seeking her light,
But it is when I draw away,
In search of my own road
I feel my burdens
Grow

But I know she is there,
Her silence allowing me to
Ponder matters
I would otherwise not share

For a toll is not only taken
As a scathing fee,
But a letting of soul ~
I’ve let mine once too often
Though hardly anyone knows,
But she, for

She has become my comfort
In dancing her words
Before me, she,
A delight in spring, becoming summer,
Falling in to winter ~
I need her ever seasoning
My soul

For the toll she expects
Is only to hear the carillon
Near the church
To match her steps
And pave my way
To know, in her, I may repose.

I am, to her, her natural witch.

When she smiles,
My heart is lifted,
The toll, extracted,
Our tomorrows entwined
In familiarity that has
No boundaries.

"...familiarity that has
No boundaries."
What a wonderful phrase and a wonderful place to be!
