Move Your Heart

Linking with Earthweal for the prompt: "Beating the Drums of Change"

Life is its own journey, presupposes its own change and movement, and one tries to arrest them at one's eternal peril. ~Laurens van der Post

Sooner or later rocks get thrown into the middle of the pond ahead,

 and ripples flow out until they reach the edge

change is like that it pushed through

and makes all standing still have to move

do not be silent without a song

reach out your hands and move along

clap and tap and drum the beat

move your heart and move your feet

change is like that it does not stand still

it bravely journeys through where danger will

for sooner or later rocks get thrown into the middle of the pond ahead

and ripples flow out until they reach the edge.

Trying To Touch The Sky

"The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision."  ~Helen Keller

All the objects within my view seem so easy to capture within my hands.

The distance between their light and shade is reachable from wear I stand.

Yet, I feel the steps would turn into miles, if tomorrow I lost my sight.

My ability to reach my destination would be like trying to touch the sky.

These hands of mine would certainly have another role to play.

They would no longer just reach out to hold, but guide and lead the way.

My sense of trust would have to increase greater than what I know.

Everything I take for granted now would have a value that would grow.

For sight and true vision are second cousins from distant stars.

One sheds light upon the cornea and the other illuminates the heart.
