Map Of The Heart

The map of the heart is a rugged terrain
that throws you off course causing pleasure or pain.
Uncharted territory with no paths or roads
where battles are fought or love can grow.

The terrain can be rocky, rough and worn
but still hold beauty like a rose reborn.
The heart blazes a trail and guides you through life
through unspoken challenges with joy and with strife.

The map of the heart can be cracked and jagged.
with scars that are deep, yet love is still magic.
An unknown wilderness with no visible path,
with desolate plains which are empty and vast.

The course is tough with many twists and turns,
but courage of the heart is resilient in return.
A challenging way of emotional wilderness
without clear direction or feelings to confess.

Overgrown trails through thorns and weeds
causes setbacks to navigate and disguises our needs.
Emotional shifts caused by unrelenting changes
leaves the heart off track in life's shifting ranges.

The map of the heart has steep hills and valleys
where love lights the way through sorrows darkest alleys.
The map of the heart is where all beauty lies
in the love we seek and the tears we disguise.
