The Parable of the Searching Heart


Year-long, weekdays, he passed an orchard,
Mornings, in the company of sparrows
As colour rained across each shadow
Of fruit trees immersed with butterflies.

In the season of woven blossom
A tapestry of blown petals may contain
Every promise he could ever anticipate
A ballet of trees imploring his provision

But soon, in the warmth, he forgot them,
He looked towards the distant autumn
Distracted by the warehouse of his heart
Of black banners and fluttering crows.

High over the fields, he viewed lemon petals
In an empty heart, he walked towards the edge
Of others harvest ripe for collection
His face to the wind he drifted away.

He let his heart be filled with sorrow
And left behind the drizzle of spring
The scent of each blossom called him back
To the touch of love and the kiss of grace.
