Heart Rocks

There is Love all around us,

If we dare to look.

A whole world of romance,

Should we care to search.

*

Somedays I get sad or angry,

So this is what I do;

I take myself down to the water,

And listen to its bubbling laughter.

*

I take myself quietly along,

The rocky wide beaches,

Waiting for that special shape of rock,

That always captures my attention.

*

It is never the same rock,

Always different and unique.

With two softly rounded edges

And a point so to speak.

*

I walk along the water edge,

talking to my friend the creek.

Always looking among the rocks,

For a special one to keep.

*

We only have to keep our eyes alert

And our timid hearts open.

The heart rocks call to me,

If ever softly spoken.

*

When love seems hard to find

In this often cruel and thoughtless world

I go looking for my heart rocks

To remind me that love is always there.
