The Heart's Quest

In love’s perfection

there is a kinder eye

and a gentler ear

for one’s beloved.

For time spent together

boosts the heart

to know that in love’s

exquisite gaze

is the long forgotten

footpath to home.

When lovers embrace

in tenderness

loneliness falls away

and turns aside from its weariness.

For in love is the

heart’s quest to belong.

And in belonging

the heart returns

to completeness.
