The Heart
written by: Glen Gales
In glow of twilight
Minutes trudge on past
The heart now settled but lonesome
Often weary but strong
Longing though content
Reflection, ponderance
One of so many
How must others feel?
Emotion seeps
From simple wounds
Wounds undetected
Beneath layer upon layer
Of feigned smiles
Yet in solitude
The heart hopes
Fleetingly
A genuine smile manifests
But alas
No one does receive its magic
For the heart is broken
And alone
I have always enjoyed the serene calm that mother nature provides and prefer to spend my time away from cities. Hiking, kayaking, cycling or just taking long walks alone or with my lovely wife is always very pleasant. We reside in Mont-Tremblant Quebec Canada with vast mountains and rivers at our doorstep. Reading and writing poetry is a cherished part of my human experience.
