Linking with the Sunday Muse for Muse # 87
Come join us!
The naïve follow their hearts. The wise lead with their hearts.

Some hearts are colder than Colorado
And more than toes get frost bite
treading through that kind of cold
I learned that in the morning frost of childhood
And lessons learned early are not easy to forget
For even when we walk away
And find warmth in loving things
The sensation of losing feeling
And not being able to move forward
Can be a ghost that haunts more than halls
Freedom was a dream I mapped out in my heart
And then one day it guided me onward
Like a beautiful horse on it’s beaten path
Now I rest upon the softness of kindness
And that is where I choose to stay
And until I take my last breath on this earth
Kindness will be the choice I make.
Wising everyone a lovely holiday season, with a safe and happy New Year!
Merry Christmas Ya'll!

Such a beautiful poem, Carrie, especially as we near Christmas. And that title just rolls off the tongue!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Shay....yes the title has been lingering with me for a while waiting for a poem. It is funny how that works sometimes.
DeleteLove this--you anchor us firmly in the cold and then lead us safely out again.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Chrissa! I love yours too!
DeleteI remember lonely walks to school in the morning when it was FREEZING, dreaming of the home I would have one day. The road to freedom was long and bumpy, but once on it, there was no turning back. I really feel this poem, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you made it to that freedom Sherry! 💜
DeleteI love the deeper message in this piece.
ReplyDeleteKindness will be the choice I make.
May it always be so....peace
