Devotion Series Poem, a Heart That Loves
A HEART THAT LOVES
A heart that loves
Is captivated by a pink sunrise,
Which sings
Out from the cover of the violet-
Black lace of night tatted
In the same patterns as angels’ wings.
The heart that loves
Will not stay still,
But composes its notes to float
Across spaces, seeking to help
, Comfort the needing, waiting places,
Like those other hearts broken in pieces.
Within the heart that loves,
The wells of pain and bliss reach
Deeply down to hidden, and running springs
Where smiles multiply and tears speak,
Where the found lyrics are the same
As those that the rocks cry out.
Hearts that love draw grace from heaven…
Don the music of all nature’# growing
Life vining across every land and
Throughout every sea — to embrace, to express
The mysterious truth of love’s insistent,
Countless, sacrificial and devoted ways.
Hearts of love remain
— One way or another, not alone, nor silent…
Going forth to journey the by-ways
Of the commonplace or even the impossible,
Meaning to link, heart to heart,
The deepest well-springs of devotion.
