Sweetly Follow, My Heart, to Love Sublime
Sweetly Follow, My Heart
Sweetly follow, my heart, to love sublime
When love is calling let not one day slip away,
Without embracing every dream, every moment
Of the blissful feeling when living and being in love.
The beauty of love for another is a treasure to hold
Within the heart, mind, body and soul.
Feeling the love opens one to harmony in life.
Sweetly follow, my heart, with the gentle flow
Of feelings held only within that sacred place,
Where only you know the deepest love ever felt.
Tis a love not to be given in the physical world,
Only in spirit will it ever be, still giving joy
And a lasting pleasure to love one so dearly.
Keep it safe within and know it is at peace.
Sweetly follow, my heart, the days as they come
And know the love you feel will enhance all
In life, and draw you closer to nature’s beauty,
For, the beauty of the love you have will overflow
Into every part of your love for nature
As you walk alone in divine peace, yet never alone
In spirit or in your heart, where he will always be.

I have always liked to write.It is important to me that writing comes from my heart and soul. When writing poetry, if I do not feel a spiritual connection to what I am writing on, I will discard it and go on to something I can connect with on a spiritual level. I live in the moment, I write from the past or beyond the veil. When writing fiction I go with whatever inspires me at the moment - it could be funny, sorrowful, romantic or sometimes done with the use of colloquial language from mountain folk or other cultural regions.
I began writing content online in 2007, starting with BellaOnline - A Voice For Women, where I was the Native American Editor, Folklore & Mythology Editor, and the Appalachian Editor. I also wrote articles forThe Examiner, Daily Two Cents, and Yahoo. I am currently an author on HubPages.
Most of what I write takes a lot of research and I love it. Even if it is a fictional story, I will research for accuracy in whatever it takes to make my characters, their era, their location, etc. become realistic to the reader.
I hope you enjoy my works. Thank you for visiting.

Hello Melissa, it is so nice to see you back. I have missed you dear lady. Thank you so much for your very kind words. Take care.
Even if the one you love may love someone else, the love held in your heart is precious and gives the strength for understanding and faith in your own truths.
