Here In My Heart
The wind off the ocean, the breeze in the trees,
The ruffle of feathers, a bird on the wing
Fill my heart
Like they’re singing.

The scent of the pine trees, the dampness,
The fragrance of lilac, the memory it brings
Fill my heart
Like they’re singing.
Here,
Here in my heart, they’re singing.

The first sign of sunrise, painting the sky,
The ribbons of color warming, warming,
Fill my heart
Like they’re singing.

The fresh of the morning, the dew on the grass,
The feathery petals opening, opening
Fill my heart
Like they’re singing.

Here,
Here in my heart, they’re singing.
Gleaming,
Joyful with voices ringing.
Here in my heart, singing.

When my voice sings with them
Their beauty lingers,
Echoing on, carrying me
Onto brighter days.
When my voice sings with them
The music blossoms,
Growing strong, rooting deep,
And now I know:

Here,
Here in my heart, I’m singing
Here,
Here in my heart, we’re singing,
Gleaming,
Joyful with voices ringing.
Here in my heart, singing.
- Sarah Quartel (2014)
