My Heart

Walks the road of peace

Walks the road of the relief of suffering

Walks the road of rising above

Walks the road of weeping

Walks the road of surrender

Walks the road of acceptance

Walks the road of knowing

Walks the road of Living

Walks the road of Being

Walks the road of Love

My Heart flows freely to manifest the footsteps

No matter the terrain

To land the feet solidly and surely in the Earth

With a gentle knowing of the Ways of the World

Both light and dark.
