Steps of the Heart
3 min readNov 28, 2023
Pace the self
let go of the struggles of famine
of memories of feast
walking is enough to get you there.
You can’t return to the past
yet, you can move forward, more slowly
one step at a time
each moment savored.
The heart’s fire
ignited by the thought of love
kindles the soul
illuminating the mind.
Love unfolds slowly
love caresses gently
once one knows its tender touch
with its radiant kindness.
Yet love also challenges
the swift and the proud
a dance more intricate
woven like a mystic prophecy.
In the quiet,
wisdom whispers
through thought's corridors
where listening is its journey.
This inner voyage
intersects the path of love
where every step is significant
every breath, a part of the story.
Walk not quickly
but with the fullness of being
each step a testament
to love discovered, love embraced.
In the rhythm of your steps
hear the echo of heartbeats
not just yours but theirs
in this timeless dance, forever entwined
.
