My Steadfast Heart

with a hushed sigh October ended
as autumn dangled almost forgotten
within the breezeways of my mind
a dark gray winter’s chill
moved slowly through my soul
quietly invading each shadowy corner
and I became suddenly aware
of the lacking warmth
there in all those places
where you used to live

…..but then

December began with the flavor of serendipity
inhaled in each breath of winters magical taste
something mysterious hanging on today’s wind
and I have a suspicion its more than just the holidays
orchestrating my heart in fluttery beats
and stirring these short days with
an unexpected and welcomed intrigue

there is something subtle
within each new moment that passes
capturing and guiding my gaze
a hint of something familiar, yet unknown
the whisper of possibility
a new adventure calling me

though cautious are my feet these days
my desire to wade deep in whispered dreams
takes precedence to any brooding mood
wherein I deny my desire
and pretend I don’t see you standing there

but then I have always been
a dreamer of impossible dreams
a true believer in love
and all that implies
even when my broken trust
blinds my sometimes jaded eyes
my heart, my steadfast heart still knows
when love lives the soul too glows
