The Heart and the Mind

Deep within the forest quiet,

Belly un-full, from meatless diet,

To meditate, I surely try,

But something lurks in my mind's eye.

…

Her face is there, as if a dream,

In my mind from others, she's unseen.

Saphira suspects, I do suppose,

But does mind follow where heart goes?

…

My ears hear the sound of birds,

Part of me calls this absurd.

My heart whispers to give it trust,

But is this love or is this lust?

…

With a start I do awake,

Lust or love I can't forsake.

But I keep myself upon the dirt,

Asking myself what I'm worth.

…

So once again I meditate,

Feelings rage in war irate.

For in my mind she is still there,

Gives me hope, gives me despair.
