Heart Whispers

Heart Whispers and Expiration Dates

She sat at the edge of the mountain
looking over the vast valley
just as she had done hundreds of times
but not here

Never had she experienced the breath
taking beauty of these giants
Weathered by nature,
finding comfort
that she would not know the expiration date

as her heart whispered

It is a constant struggle not to wonder
why the birth of a new morning is
destined for expiration
Its beginning has already heralded
the ending

She thinks of other moments when she
yearned to only listen to the heart
that sang as fingers wove amongst her hair
tugging as she was pulled into a hug
two became one

her heart whispered

It is not how long a moment lasts,
only that it was
Savored and held within a memory
knowing that there was always
an expiration date

Sighing, she stands looking one last time
turning retracing her steps
hoping, maybe this time
the serenity will face no argument

as her heart whispers

Moments like this one are fleeting...just as other moments are...yet something beautiful as these are to be remembered in one's mind's eye.... we try to recall special moments, as our heart whispers, and hold on to them dearly... some very vivid descriptions, and I happen to live in the Appalachian Mountain s in North Carolina and every day is a special one even if I gaze at them for one minute....they encircle me in soft surroundings....
Warmly, B

Those moments that were will always be, just as a beautiful dawn becomes dusk and begins again anew.
Yet those whispers continue, on and on ad finitum.

I love this--"It is not how long a moment lasts, only that it was" I call that wisdom born from experience. Life is a hard road to travel, with its' ruts and bumps that bruise, but the heart may still endure.
