Mapping the terrains of the heart

Mapping the terrains of the heart
is a difficult thing.
Like untamed wild
you conquer it inch by inch
a foot at a time
a step, then another
with nothing
but a flashlight in hand,
its thin beam
quivering in the dark
to the calls of Coyote
as the grounds beneath you--shift--
like shadows,
you stumble,
praying--Oh God--
please
don't let that battery die

About Me

I love words. This is simply a place for me to collect all the wonderful words I've come across in my journey through books and movies.
