Missing

Where is my heart?

Is it near the brambles, or stone, 

or at the water’s edge?

There it is! Do you see it 

in the thick of the brush along the hedge?


Mr. Mouse guards it 

with a staff of gold,

and the bunnies gaze upon it 

for it’s a rare sight to behold. 

The critters of day and night 

circle around it with song,

A ballad to encourage a thing 

to find its way home.



I’ll keep the light on 

for the moment 

it remembers 

we belong.
