What Some Hearts Need

51064695_737923016591881_5580714624195493888_nToday is like all the others,

gray like a barren winter sea,

the sun a pale and heartless orb.

And it’s on days like this,

that I feel certain my journey

is nearing its end.

 

Only now I see, as I look out

to the distant horizon,

a whirlwind of outlandish color,

trick of the light perhaps,

but no less real.

 

And in that moment I hear

a note ring out, then another,

and before long a melody

that seems to reflect perfectly

from off the colors.

 

And I feel my senses inundated,

My fears dissipated like morning fog,

an effect so complete that no space

remains for those thoughts

of a journey’s end

or of some hopeless cruel travail.

 

I just stand and take it in,

mesmerized in that unexpected instant,

marveling at the colors,

dancing with the melody.

 

And for that one moment,

it is more than enough.
