CLEAN THE MIRROR OF MY HEART

As you, I am a wanderer, my friend,
we have seen the big roads only from afar,
as life guides us off the beaten trails
following the guidance of stars.

So we wander deeper into life.
We are the lovers of the heart.
We visit the temples within
and quest only for the center of our being.

We sit and listen to the stories of our old hearts,
its songs are many, and deep.
They sing of the tears and despair,
of the joy and aliveness.

And they sing of the letting go
the saying goodbye
and the broken hearts
that guide us to understanding.

So whatever I may do
and wherever I may go
Let me clean the mirror of my heart.

So I may meet you, my friend,
truly meet you,
and we may continue to wander
on this trail of singing stars.
