Here Where Hearts Are Humming

I say, I gave myself away

I never saw myself

I was lost

the silent

the nature child

I was the natural explorer

the garden dreamer

the flowers friend

the dogs companion

the one 

who was the one by a tree, a lake

and I loved creeks and ponds,

forests and birds

a sweeter sound was never heard.

 

Now I sit with the chimes and I am delighted

when my heart just hums with them.

 

Now, here, near the almost silent trembling

so simple, so graceful,

never imagined or barely seen

a soft breeze of life eases through me.

I see the chimes vibrate and tremble.

as the soothing deep and low tones 

are whispering

yes we know the humming is nourishing. 

In another hour, or another day

they may shimmer in sunlight,

bringing pure delight to witness like

the gentle calming of a babe in arms.

 

Here unbelievably,

my visible trembling ceases to be.

Here. Here In My Heart, I feel Safety.
