Take time to listen to your heart... |
Matters of the Heart by Pennman -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had a long talk with my heart today For I felt that it had alot to say So I meandered along amid rivers and streams And listened deeply to my thoughts and dreams Then my heart whispered some encouraging news "The heart of a poet is rich with muse So be absorbed in your thoughts And let your heart go And be like this river and just let it flow". I smiled and came upon an oak tree Its boughs were rigid and as hard as could be It towered above all the trees in the glen The strongest of all Yet the least one to bend Then chimed my heart to me once more "What matters most is what's in its core for deep down inside is where it does matter For if it won't bend Then it will shatter! Remember this too, when it comes to me For a heart that is hardened Is no good to thee!" When I came home later that night and the rivers and trees were gone from my sight I said to my heart before I did rest 'I will try to do my utmost best' For I have learned a lesson, so true and that is to follow my heart, too pennman@poetic.com |
