My heart's nocturne often overtakes me: slow, soft and brimming with soul It drives at a pace, that in my mind's eye, is a dizzying dance that I've rehearsed every night since I recognized its stirring With each beat is every sentiment, every syllable that would seem hollow without the accompanying score One moment I am as light on my feet as a golden feather floating down from an angel's wing In my solitude, I am filled with infinity My being is home to an ecosystem that schools me daily to listen, to feed, to grow into my humanity Lessons such as these have filtered through the years and minds of many Not to be wasted on those who deny their own souls existence

Nocturne of the Heart
My heart's nocturne often overtakes me: slow, soft and brimming with soul It drives at a pace, that in my mind's eye, is a dizzying dance that I've rehearsed every night since I recognized its stirring With each beat is every sentiment, every syllable that would seem hollow without the accompanying score One moment I am as light on my feet as a golden feather floating down from an angel's wing In my solitude, I am filled with infinity My being is home to an ecosystem that schools me daily to listen, to feed, to grow into my humanity Lessons such as these have filtered through the years and minds of many Not to be wasted on those who deny their own souls existence
