Where?

Where is my heart?
From where doth it call me?
From its' place by the sea,
Or from some mountain top?
From a green pasture
In which it takes
its' rest?
From where do I
hear my hearts' longing?
Doth it call me at all?
Doth it sleep?
or wake?
or doth it die
the slow and agonizing
death from
not being heard.
