Listen to Your Heart: A Poem from Author and Sound Alchemist Julie Jewels Smoot
Love is a language that speaks to the soul
Injecting warmth where once was cold
Soothing the ache that lingers within
Teaching us to start anew, to begin
Embracing the beauty of our own voice
Not afraid to make that choice
To follow where it leads, to listen to your heart
Heed the whispers that echo inside
Each beat a reminder of the love you hide
A symphony of emotions playing out
Revealing truths, casting away doubt
Testifying to the depth of your desire
Rising like a flame, burning higher
Open your ears and your soul to its art
Your heart knows the way, the path to take
Open your mind, let it guide your fate
Understanding without words, without lies
Releasing the truth, dispelling the guise
Holding onto hope, despite the fear
Telling you to persevere
So listen closely, don't let it part
To tune into your heart is to find your truth
Owning your emotions, living fully uncouth
Urging you to be bold, to be authentic
Reach for the stars, be unapologetic
Telling you to follow your dreams
Sharing the wisdom that gleams
So quiet your mind, and let your heart start
In the noise of the world, it can be hard to hear
Notice the whispers, make the stillness near
Choosing love over fear, following its lead
Trusting in the messages it does feed
Returning to your essence, your core
Overcoming doubts, beginning to soar
So sink into the silence, and listen with your heart
