Directing My Travels

I don’t feel that right now

My heart is beating

I can hear it as well as

Let it tap my chest

Like a rhythm that has belonged

In regular fashion

With my being all my life

Yet I wonder sometimes

Why I can hear it so well

Right there

When I inhale the rhythm is stronger

Just a simple cadence to remind me

Where I have been

Where I am going

Who is directing my travels

When I listen to my heart

I realize I am strong

Stir up the passion of my dreams

For my heart is ready for anything
