1. 

What is this yearning,

this ache in my heart 

that can not be soothed?

I see a doorway, an opening,

that leads to a beatific scene

of blue skies and brilliantly- colored flowers and butterflies and birds and creatures with gentle, curious eyes gazing at me.

I can see this,

but I know I can not go there,

I can not enter.

What is this yearning,

this ache in my heart

for this place of deep peace

and wondrous joy?

I feel the ache and let it go.

Not now, not yet, oh

my weary soul.

 

2. 

And when the ache gets too much,

when I want to fill it with a healing balm,

I take a deep breath

and invite in Love.

Yes, this is the remedy,

the antidote, to close the hole

in my weeping heart.

Love will carry me through the door when the time is right,

and Love carries me now

to sweet surrender,

to this moment of breath,

this opening to happiness.
