A Heart in the Desert

A heart can live in a desert

With miles of sand and rock

To which into your heart are insert

The desert is a beautiful and amazing place.

Full of life and stars a plenty in the night. 

Yet, if alone there are no people within your space.

The heart can feel so cold and away from inside yourself.

Snow falls upon the heart that is wandering the desert alone. 

The tears turn into snowflakes searching for the shelf.


The shelf of a life it once knew...and cannot forget.

It is a heavy heart pushing through life daily.

This heart desires so to be re-lit.











By the fires of life, of love, of beauty.

By beauty and love...

Sometimes, oft times the heart needs time to heal, to mend.

Losses, so many losses to endure and one day the heart shall soar as a dove.

When that shall be I am not certain.

I sit with this heart and do what I can to mend whilst it is in the desert.

Waiting for it to comeback to its place and I can finally pull back the curtain.
