My Heart Once Told Me +Poem+

My heart once told me to draw a picture of the sunset over the waters.
I did.
I pulled out my pencil and drew the radiant colors of the sea.

My heart once told me to write a story to the flow of nature’s whispers.
I did.
I wrote about the forests, the mountains, and valleys of belief.

My heart once told me to sing a song to the gentle breeze.
I did.
I hummed the tune to the crickets in the grass, joining in a crusade for inspiration.

My heart once told me to take pictures of the city.
I did.
I pointed out the mesmerizing lights for my own true initiation.

My heart once told me to make new friends, but never forget those before.
I did.
I began to relinquish all my faults as the essence of time wore on.

My heart once told me to be happy with myself.
I did.
I began to see somebody worthwhile in the mirror, a blessing apon.

My heart once told me to follow my dreams.
I did.
I followed them in all directions, though the good, the bad, the high, and the low.

My heart once told me love was real.
I didn’t believe it.
And now, I’ll wander aimlessly searching for the one thing I’ll never know.
