Kardia Chartis
I have never been where you have been,
so I looked to the land for signs of passage.
Over mountain trails of memories, through
forests of time I tracked you.
Each time I thought I couldn’t go on my eyes felt
the pull of your gravity.
I know my journey to find you is nothing compared
to the travails you faced to get where you are.
When I finally catch up you are weary, and have fallen
prey to time and circumstance.
You grow more disheartened with each step
along your path.
I am here now, though, to tell you that your
days and nights should shine with hope.
Your magic could keep the sun in the sky
and cannot wither under the weight of life.
I will be your guide when you need me; to lead you
home I need only follow the map of my heart.
