O wandering heart, Why do you rush forward, lost and hurried, As if the gentle hands that held you once Have forgotten your name?

She, who cradles each leaf as it falls, Who guides the sunbeam through shadowed forest, She has not turned away from you. In every quiet moment, She waits Her patience, as boundless as the sea.

When you drift too far, too lost in seeking, Chasing shadows cast by your own longing, She, like the silent sky, holds you still. Her love flows unbroken, From the first breath to the last.

Why then, dear soul, do you forsake the smile Of the One who knows every heartbeat, Who knew you in the womb’s dark warmth, And waits now, unseen, beneath every worry?

Come back to Her, and feel the weight dissolve The work, the striving, the ceaseless wander For in Her quiet patience, you will find That what you seek is not afar, but here, In the soft and sacred fold of Her embrace.

Take a moment before choosing what comes next.

As if the gentle hands that held you once
Have forgotten your name?”
