Listen to Your Heart

Freedom

by Shiloh Sophia

The unsolved mysteries

of the heart are always present

It doesn’t matter how many times

we have been loved or been hurt

Still, the heart is a grand mystery

We cannot control it

we cannot make it

do what we want

We cannot predict what

it will feel or see

But there is one thing

we can do

We can listen to our heart

and what it has to say

We can listen to the hearts

of those around us

We can be a healing presence

from one another and the earth

We can practice

falling in love with mystery,

in the infiniteness of not knowing

When we stop trying

to figure it out

we can find freedom

If we listen to our heart

our heart will listen to us

This is the journey of a lifetime

and our heart is the guide

How blessed are we

to be able to listen closely

and lean into love
