Lead me to my heart

Lead me to my heart

She asked the wind breezing around,
'Can I fly away with you?
Fly away to a far away land,
A land of my dreams,
Dreams filled with people I love.'

To this the wind replied,
'Dear, love is not bound by limits,
Close your eyes, feel it,
The loved ones are just that near
To be held closed and loved.'

She asked the bird on the tree,
'Let me borrow your wings,
Just for a moment,
To reach up for the skies,
And walk over the white clouds.'

To this the bird replied,
'The wings of fantasy,
Is what you need,
To carry you over the skies,
To places new and old.'

She asked her heart, which just missed a beat,
'Oh, why are you missing a beat,
It's the beat or someone not known to me,
Smart enough to hold you,
And still unseen to my wide open eyes.'

Her heart said to her,
'It's just the feeling to be far away,
That makes you shade the one near,
Look near, search within,
There lies the place, the loved one
So searched all along.'
