Do you let it float in front of you

to decide the way to go?

So that once it's seen the way forward

the rest of you will know,

whether to take the step or not

and if it's filled with love

or is it just a fantasy

that your head fills from above?


When your heart is filled with light

is it just the purest thing

and is it this you follow

to see what it will bring?


What if it feels heavy

when the love's in overload?


What do you do when it comes to a stop,

when your heart finds its abode?


What can you do to follow it then?

How or when or where?

Where does this part take you?

Look on your sleeve it's there!


It's emblazoned then and plain in sight,

it's found its place to be.

Your heart's no longer at the front

it's at the side now, see?


Or wrapped around another

of a tender touch a part.

It's filled now with new movement.

So where does this lead your heart?


When it's filled with love and kindness

and with someone you can share,

it can feel as light as helium

and float along the air.


When the love is lying stagnant

and the one's not there anymore.

It can feel as heavy as lead

and drag along the floor.
