THE JOURNEY TO THE HEART by Sophie Gregoire

Our journeys to love and life, to lights and shadows, are the journey to our hearts…

When thinking about all the steps I have already taken, or will need to take, to go further on the road of life, or the steps I have already taken or will undertake to get closer to my inner melody, I have noticed that the heart was, now and always, the key.

Reaching our heart is reaching our core. Reaching our core is listening to the music our soul longs to play. It means getting connected both to our deepest part and to the whole, the Universe.

I believe that it is only by reaching our soul's song we may become, truly and with no boundaries, ourselves. Only by reaching our soul's song may we see how small we are in the universe at all times, but also, how connected we all are. And we will see how conventional time and space are to express such beauty: the beauty around us, and that of our strong, resilient, warrior hearts. We are all like trees in the forest of life!

So below, I wanted to express the importance of our connection to the heart and soul. Which may, I hope, always give birth to the best in us, our most natural qualities: The desire to love, to see the beauty of our world and to live a life of respect and truth.

The Journey To The Heart

by Sophie Gregoire

Dear Heart,

I still don’t know,

How we may feel

On our way to hopes,


On the road to dreams.

Still wondering,

If the sun will always

Set over our songs that alight,

Every breath

Make our pulse,

That lively.

But I do hope,

Sweet Lady Heart,

That until the end

Of all dawns,

You’ll savor magic.

Dear Heart,

Still wondering

Which grounds,

Our paces may tread upon

Which oceans,

Our eyes may caress

By which sunset,

We may be tucked in.

But at least,

I do hope,

At heart,

You’ll see, discover and learn,

How close we all are,

On every little side

Of our swinging world,

Aerial blends of shadow and light,

All, each of us,

Climbing the mountains of dreams.

Still wondering,

Who we may love.

Whose kisses,

Which sparkling smiles

Whose hands,

Which witty one.

But I do wish,

At heart,

Symbiosis will be deep.

Your slightest atoms,

Awakened

Spring-blooming,

Till purple blood.

Jumping of joy

You and Him,

On your roads to the sky,

As dancing wolves

Under a bright moon,

Painting desires

The eyes lit up

Lit up and filled,

Filled with blue stars.

Sweet lady,

Still wondering

Which souls,

We may come across

On the road to life.

If far from our own melody,

They’ll try and drive us

If windows to the world,

They’ll try and shut down.

Perhaps,

Soul-liars and heart-players

On the way we’ll glimpse,

But I do hope,

At heart,

Sweet lady,

You’ll understand, forgive, forget and leave

Walk away from roses thorns,

Instead of judging.

Lovely wanderer,

I hope,

Gypsy at heart that you’ll stay.

Now and then,

Here and always.

Never build borders,

Over the seas

But multicolor,

Sweet, bold ribbons

Thrown all around,

Around our colorful world

And,

As our own rhythm,

You and I.

With all heart,

Dear Heart,

I do wish

Our love never fades.

May I always,

Hold and cherish

These secrets of yours,

Art fantasies or purple nights

Lust for freedom or sunflowers,

As you wish,

Dear Lady Heart.

Hoping,

I will be bold enough

So that my eyes,

Can speak your words

My hands write,

Over the novel of life

In your most favorite,

Treasured calligraphy.

Dear Heart,

May we never forget

Both you and I,

As long as

We will be intertwined,

That we are Lovers at all times

As long as you’ll unveil,

Each day

And every hour,

Your magic keys and enchanting words

To me,

I give you my word:

A pink cheerful promise,

I’ll do my best

Always and forever,

To make them live.

Sweet Lady Heart,

Ache sometimes we will,

For sure

But lightly,

Though,

I believe…

Hearts don’t really suffer

When in search

For their golden dreams.

Dear Heart,

My love of all times,

I hope we choose

You and I,

Now and always,

Here and above the seas,

Our ways over theirs

Fire over safety

Mountains over plains

Love poems over reason

And above all,

May we hold in our heart,

Sunsets over diamonds,

Life over fear.
