Heartstrings

“Taiga”
May 5, 2024

I took my heart
For a waking walk
In the park
As if it were my guide dog
Released
To follow its instincts
Toward what it already knew we needed
Imagined it tugging me eagerly
Through my chest
Down each winding path
These heartstrings
The leads tying our trust together
Pulling me toward a destination
I could not yet imagine
And there was a satisfaction
A glimmer of joy
In discovering its pace
Unworried
By the place
It would take us
