BACK

A Fiercely Beating Heart

Strength unmoved as dust swirls

around the stamping of hoof.

Fire rages in the heart and

coils of fevered breath move from

chamber of lung and throat,

weaving between air’s stagnant web.

I am earth, solid and great

in purpose and my strength

is held and guided by a heart that beats

fiercely to the rhythm of love.

I will stand my ground in

defense of the truths I perceive.

And,, if provoked will

charge with intent  and

precise aim as I relentlessly

pursue the source of irritation.

Some would see me as impetuous

and easily stoked to irrational rage

And others would say I was immovable,

stagnant and set in my ways.

Both would be true

for my impetuosity comes

from being firmly grounded and

my grounding takes shape from

the flashes of inspiration I explore.

I am patient and I am persistent

as I move through life’s course.

And within my breast beats

a heart that holds the earth’s

wisdom and light deep within.
