~ The Journey ~ As Seen Thru My Own Eyes

While sitting in the stillness I asked my heart for a new song.
I was so tired of the melancholy one I had sung for so long.

My heart, in all its wisdom, softly replied,
“I have no new song for you to sing.
I have only my song, and it’s a beautiful thing.”

I did not understand; could my destiny really be
to forever sing the same old dark melody?

My heart heard my thoughts and began to explain:
“It’s not my song that you continually sing. 
I have only one song, and it’s a beautiful thing.”

Not my heart’s song? What could this mean?
If not my own song, then whose did I sing?

Again my heart heard my thoughts and replied,
“You’ve learned notes and lines that you weren’t meant to sing.
I have only your song, and it’s a beautiful thing.”

I wanted to learn this song that was meant to be?
So I asked my heart to please teach it to me.

My heart in much wisdom once again spoke,
“Close your eyes, listen to me and you will begin to sing
the only song I have for you, it’s a beautiful thing”

I closed my eyes and listened and suddenly I knew
just what my heart was saying. Everything felt new.

My heart began to smile as it listened to me,
The love that I felt had taught me to sing
the song that was mine, it’s such a beautiful thing.
