There is an open gate
With no path beyond.
Dare you go?
There is an open gate
With no path beyond.
Dare you go?
She told you she would not cry when you
Walked away.
She lied.
She shut the gate behind herself in the
Garden
So you could not see
Her trembling steps;
Her trembling lips.
Her singing voice hid her sorrow.
You never learned her anyway.
Perhaps she will not open to trust
This lifetime.
Perhaps it is so,
But you will not know for your soul has
Agreed to move on.
I reopened the gate
And went out into
The
Great
Wilderness.
There I returned to the
Life
I new
As a child
And became
The
Peace
I have always carried.
For the birds welcomed me.
The wind embraced me.
The trees received me with a timeless remembering.
The dirt infused my senses with vivification.
The sky opened up in my heart
And the sun became a friend to my soul again.
I recalled this is where I belong.
There,
In
The
Great
Wilderness,
I did live
Once
More.
My heartstrings are being pulled
To a place far away
Where my love does lie
In the field
And wait.
There are flowers
Of blue
And a rusty old
Gate.
My heart does
Go.
My heart does
Go.
My love does wait.
