Warm Heart Poem by Phil Ward

Warm Heart

Rating: 5.0


The salty air, the seagulls cry and it feels like home,
A distant bark from a dog at play as I brave
the sandy beach today and take in the view,
In my ears the Northern winds whisper silently,
You've come back to see me,
I've got something for you.

On my return I found a seed,
Yes, a stray seed from the North,
Lying on my stony ground,
Quietly it lay without a sound,
And over time it lay there still,
It lay there from its own free will,
Fed by my warmth unknowingly,
Changing to be part of me.

Then from that seed and warily,
A tiny gap and it came forth,
A hair emerged and touched my skin,
And in my flesh it made a mark,
And that warmth within my heart,
Freed that seed from up the North.

Then I did change and welcomed it,
And finding who I am to be,
Accepted it quite willingly,
For I in it and it in me,
Both needing to be living free,
Were complimented perfectly.
