A Retreating Heart
.
It seems these days, that I find myself sitting here less often,
with even less to say.
.
But this morning, while I am alone, I rest my fingers and wait
for the words to tumble onto the page.
.
But they do not come. Is it because I am tired?
.
Because I am. Utterly tired.....how could I not be? I have run
through such a gamut of emotions that my heart has retreated
to an underground bunker leaving my thoughts behind....
exhausted and slow to rise.
.
I sit back in quiet realization as I am provided a picture of clarity.
.
Why have I always waited for my thoughts to spill, when from the
beginning it has been my heart that held my words?
.
I have always assumed that it was my thoughts
that gave them birth;
yet the truth is, it has been my heart
that has continuously provided my
thoughts with her language.
.
....and now I understand....
.
When my heart retreats, my fingers rest on the keys
leaving my thoughts with naught to say.....

Well, my dear, you say beautiful things even when you say you have naught to say.
Thanks for being my friend, especially during this time when you feel like retreating. I love your company and your heart.
