Is your heart like mine?

Must you see something

with your eyes to know that it is real, or can you listen to the whispers of your heart, when it tells you to believe?

Have you ever been all alone and felt someone's hand touch yours?

Has the sound of a stranger's voice ever taken your mind back to a memory of a time and place, where you have never been before?

Have you ever held the hand of a friend, in great pain, wished that pain into your own body and felt it come?

Can you see me when I will myself into your dreams?

Is your heart like mine?

When you look up into the night's sky, can you see the wolf in the moon?

The wolf all alone, howling out a cry for his mates return.

Are the lights in the dark sky, just stars, created for our delight?

Can't you see that they are lanterns, of hope, from far off worlds?

When the wind blows in your face, can you feel his fingers, playfully tossing your hair and tugging at your clothes, begging you to join his game?

When that wind has whipped the clouds into rows of tight round balls, can you see the under scales of a dragon?

A dragon lost from her world of magic, flying low over our world, in search of escape.

Can you tell that the trees standing beside your gate are sentinels, dutifully guarding your path, keeping you safe?

When you see two trees growing together in a meadow, do you imagine the dance of two lovers?

Lovers with their bodies intertwining, becoming one.

Can you smell the sunshine?

Is your heart like mine?

Have you ever been so alone that you were sure tomorrow would never come?

Have you ever been so busy that suddenly yesterday is last year?

Does the sound of a baby crying make you pray for peace?

Peace for all the babies, everywhere.

Have you ever loved so deeply you felt as though you could fly?

Have you ever lost so much you were sure that you could not take another breath?

Can you look into your lover's eyes and see her soul, or is her beauty all that you can see?

Have you ever broken someones heart and felt your own heart bleed?

Can you hear my voice in these words?

Is your heart like mine ?
