A broken heart is no way to worldly travel
For life’s mysteries you cannot unravel
A hungry fire was never lit without a flame
Crystal waters flow clear, they hide no shame

The Moon’s glow shows it has nought to hide
Tempestuous seas do not question a rising tide
Raging storms never needed to ask to speak
Mountain tops do not care that they are bleak

Does the forest curse if the trees are bare?
A relentless wind would not sit and stare
An earthquake has no sense of human pity
A tsunami cares not if it engulfs a city

What volcano ever spilt lava and compassion?
Would a bitter winter’s cold savour our submission?
Tornadoes care less of empathy for their path
Nature never understands the meaning of wrath

Then why my heart do you continue to rage
Wisdom is the personal sanctuary of a sage
My continuing journey is not of your making
Only I can decide what I am forsaking

Whisper, whisper, to me my tender heart
Do not dwell on what you did not start
Beat vibrantly for that final journeys quest
For true love never sought to hide or rest
