The heart wants what it wants..

Once upon a time, a zealous heart yearned to pack a bag and wander, into the unknown, without a hint of ponder. And so, she ambled along the riverside as the stream burbled over tiny rocks and carried with it, the rustles of the wind.

The sun cast its light and embellished the radiant valley, while the heart found its rhythm and the eyes held their gaze. She strolled across the bridge and crawled atop the cliff, and the soul fuelled up as the sky smiled upon her face.

She stood hypnotized by the entrancing horizon where the sparkly river met the snow-clad mountains to sing a new tune. Soon, the heart realized that it could never get enough and all it could do was to pause and soak it up.

She tossed up a rock with her name inscribed in block, and let herself surrender as she bade goodbye to the river. If only she knew that the goodbye was too soon, as the zealous heart yearns again to pack a bag and wander.
