I reached into your heart today
I was curious as to what lay there
was there a beat
was there life
what lies within
where life is nurtured
and now there sings a delight
only a few are gifted to hear.
For in your heart I found not just a beat
but love and all that goes with that
compassion and forgiveness
strength and fortitude
marvellous qualities
many seek but few attain.
and though I know you do get down
that at times you feel yourself
dragged to the ground
from those you cannot control
who walk on you
push and pull
and expect you to take their pain
and soak it up.
its hard when that reservoir
is already to overflow
to make more space where
pain and sorrow
acceptance and love all have to co-exist
but you do,
for your heart not beats
it loves
loves without condition
forever open.

Sigh…lovely and loving.
Thanks Georgia. Happy you found it so.
and thus true friendship – forgetting what one is coping with or conceals to open their heart to someone else and be there…
Thanks Jenny, lovely comment.
