"Within the Heart's Embrace"

In the depths of my wanderlust's call,

I kept running, seeking a soft place to fall.

Through boundless fields and rugged terrain,

Yearning for solace, to ease my weary pain.

I chased fleeting dreams, like whispers in the wind,

Seeking refuge from the battles I'd pinned.

But with each passing step, the ground grew tough,

A relentless pursuit, never finding enough.

Through bustling cities and quiet abodes,

I searched for comfort on forgotten roads.

Yet the hardness of life met me at every turn,

Leaving my spirit restless, with lessons to learn.

In the embrace of nature, I sought respite,

Yearning for a haven, where worries take flight.

But even there, the ground proved unyielding,

Leaving me searching, still seeking healing.

Then, one fateful day, in a moment so serene,

I stumbled upon a place, where tranquility convenes.

Not in the external realm, but within my own heart,

A soft place to fall, where love could impart.

For it wasn't in the distance or elusive lands,

But in self-acceptance, where solace expands.

In embracing imperfections and finding inner grace,

I discovered the refuge, a gentle, forgiving space.

No longer running, I found what I'd sought,

A soft place to fall, where dreams could be caught.

It resided within, all along, patiently waiting,

For me to stop seeking and start celebrating.

So now I rest, with a heart that's secure,

Embracing life's journey, resilient and sure.

For I've learned that a soft place to fall,

Isn't in the external, but within us all.
