Bold Heart

The feeling dissipates

But I still remember the warmth 

I still crave the moment 

Looking for the next opportunity 

To be gathered up in caring arms 

To be told that I will be kept 

Safe from harm 

To be well thought of 

And loved in return 

My heart awaits the chance of exchanging the courtesy  

Yearning and turning in desolate places 

Aching to see and experience friendly faces 

Hopefully a day will arrive 

Someone's eyes will catch me by surprise 

And I will be held in an embrace 

That makes my lonely years fade away 

That gives me emotions that are here to stay 

The feeling dissipates

But I still remember the warmth 

I still crave the moment 

Looking for the next opportunity... 

To receive a long, awe-inspiring hug 

I use to run from intimacy 

Choosing isolation 

And silent discretion over having a hand to hold  

But as of late... 

My heart has grown bold 

Love always, Esha 

Something More

Oftentimes we judge the book by the cover. So we don't read it and never get to the precious information inside. Failing to read the forward. Ignoring the author's bio. Going past the parts that pertain to the index. Thinking what book of value can I reject next? The eyes bypass the context. Attempting to select the best thing but choosing according to the flesh. Scrolling through eBooks hoping to find deeper subtext but always coming up short. Look for easy reads in a library full of complicated stories. Running from grace while a closed heart secretly searches for the Lord. Why are we alive? What do we suffer long for? Questioning minds wonder... A lonely soul implores that we read for the pleasure of finding something MORE. 



Love always, Esha  <3
