Poems for the Smiling Heart

Questions

“How far need I fly to be free?” asked the bird
“How long need I swim to find safety?” asked the fish
“How deep need I burrow to find peace?” asked the groundhog
“How wide need I smile to find love?” asked my heart

A wave of wind, billowing and bright replied:
“Let your thoughts loosen like leaves
your dreams drift into colour
and come travel with me.”
