Direction of the Heart

The past is not a package one can lay away. ~Emily Dickinson


In my dreams I see reflections of yesterday
Leading me down black and white highways
to places I once had been
I wander backwards
Heading into the past
Holding moments long since gone
I see the faces I miss so much
 and hear voices
That I have not heard in years
Holding children that have long since grown up
For in life, I have seen many things change
Right before my eyes
Each one is a part of what has molded the direction that my heart follows now
The joy keeps me hopeful
The storms inspire change
The loss has given me calluses upon my knees
Giving me the strength to keep moving forward
No matter what lies ahead
For my heart knows where I come from
And that gives me the greatest direction of all.
