Close your eyes
listen to the wind,
feel the beat of your heart.
~~~~
Listen to it beating strong,
feel it steady like the
rush of a thundering
waterfall as it races
along it's path.
~~~~
Know that in time
you too will find
the key to
what you are
searching for.
~~~~
My hand
is here for you,
do not be afraid
to take it.
~~~~
My shoulder
is here for you
to lean on,
do not be afraid
to lean upon it.
~~~~
My heart
believes in you,
may you find the strength
to believe in yourself.
~~~~
When you walk along the path,
if you should falter,
I will be there to help
you stand strong again.
~~~~
And when you are ready
listen.............
listen to your heart,
and follow your dreams.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love has it's own time,
it's own season,
and it's own reasons
for coming and going.
You cannot bribe it
or coerce it
or reason it into staying.
If it chooses to leave,
from your heart
or the heart of a lover,
there is nothing you can do
and nothing you should do.
Be glad that it came to live
for a moment in your life.
If you keep your heart open,
it will surely come again.

From
Simple Truths

This is really beautiful. I enjoyed this and there is so much truth in all you said.

I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps

~~Gentle Spirit~~Talk about hitting the nail on the head. We learn by teaching, and being able to listen with an open ear. This is a keeper for me--to read and to be reread.

For those who believed in me -May  God keep you. There is no fear in love..For perfect love casth out all fear.

Sauni,  thank you.  I am so glad you could find
some meaning in the words.  *s*

LP, I am honored that it is a keeper for you!  Thanks

walker, These words are
for all, but especially
the words are for
a loved one to let him
know he holds the power.
I think that we all
hold this power inside....
if we can only keep
believing.  Thanks.  

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.
