I want to go deep into my heart

and bring something back

I want to bring you a gift.

I want to turn it inside out…upside down.

Empty its walls…dust off its shelves and put everything in place.

I need to go deep into my heart

now more than ever

I know I have left notes somewhere there…and maybe even a map.

I know I might have some paint and brushes…pencils and paper.

My compass…precious memories.

I need to go deep into my heart

it seems the only way right now.

I know I have it there…that present bliss.

I will go deep…and maybe there I will see the stars…the universe…the thing itself.
