The Evidence of Eternity

Ephemeral, eternal heart! ~Emily Dickinson

 

We are moved by the wings of longing

So we dance

We reach

We love

It is how we know we are truly alive

By more than a pulse of a beating heart

For there is a certain movement in everything

The soaring of unseen wings and visible hands bracing the fall

we bleed

we bruise

we learn

and rise to love again

it is the evidence of eternity

proof our heart beats for more than the blood within our veins.

My heart is like a child that still stands beside me

Uncertain but hopeful of what the future holds

We watch the world together standing at the steps

Hoping the world will see the beauty we hold

So I wear my best hat even on the windiest of days

Yet it is always my heart that gets swept away.

Psssst I Got A Secret Wanna Here?

It's simple just use the words in the list.  At least 3 of them that is. :-)

 

 

It is a complete mystery what lies within a woman's heart.

It's got a crazy stowaway that yarns flowers in the dark.

It becomes a garden of riddles that speak only to the blind.

It creates a high pitched sound that no man could ever choose to find.

All the lost love that is packaged is saved for a lover from the past

where regrets and favorite longings become legends that don't die fast.

For no animal great nor small can look head on and not be stunned

so cup your ears and watch television cause the truth will kill ya like a gun.

One of my favorite movies is like so many women "Titanic", and I love the quote by Rose "A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. "  I remember the first time I saw the movie, and I heard those words.  I could not get over how true that was.  There are just some things that a woman knows in her heart that she never shares with another human being.
