A Heart with a View

[heartfelt7]

[Many hundreds of thousands of American baby boomers
are in the Fall or Winter seasons of their lives.
I guess I wrote this to remind myself
that home really is where the Heart is.]



A Heart With a View

When each day is spent in one room with a view,
a bed for my body and a dresser for a few
of the material things my mind wants to keep,
then home has become just a place where I sleep.

I might own a treasure like legends of old
or one simple ring with the memories it holds.
I might live in a mansion or one room with a view,
but I am who I am when I am turned to You.

For You are my Heart where my dreams still reside.
You are that space where my Love will survive.
You are the home that I long to return to,
not body, not mind, but a Heart with a view.

I only saw just now that you did this one.
Not bad, not bad at all.

I just noticed this gem, Heartfelt. I took the liberty of sharing it at our sister site and alternate universe of poetry on Facebook. Beautiful writing. It just is.
