Heart And Soul

 



Opening the door to my heart,

I step into a wild garden,

air thick with the sweet scent of jasmine,

leaves rustling softly,

whispering secrets of the past.


Petals of joy unfurl,

laughing in warm sunlight,

while thorns prick my skin—

a vibrant dance on the edge of pain.


Love flickers

like fireflies in dusky twilight,

glowing with fleeting promises

against encroaching darkness.


In this tangled landscape,

love and solitude

are twin teachers,

each nurturing growth:


one, a warm embrace;

the other, quiet reflection,

like a still pond

mirroring the sapphire sky.


Pulsating existential heartbeats

echo the symphony of tears and laughter,

each note resonating

with the pulse of life.


Every heartbeat sings—

joyful pulsation mingled

with sighs of sorrow,

melodies lingering

long after the final notes fade.


As seasons change,

I embrace the journey,

dancing mindfully

between joy and pain.
