Living From the Heart

Oh my t’is beautiful to live from the heart

To leave behind the story

The trials and tribulations

Accumulated on the Way to

the open Heart.

We all yearn to live deeply

to feel free flowing love

ti’s the hearts deepest longing.

To allow it to bust open

Become wild and oozing

Oh that Heart!

It never goes away this yearning

From birth to death

There are risks in life to follow the Heart

It is impossible to set a stage

that will be a one stop trip.

It is also impossible for it not to be broken

On the Way.

That is what makes it so sweet

When if finally pumps freely.

T’is bitter sweet upon arrival

But no less magnificent.
