Love Poem: Kingdom of the Heart

Kingdom of the Heart

Freedom has multiple 
levels of elevation 
and decent – heaven at 
the top, though many of us
seem stubbornly hell-bent…

One would think, then,
direction a true
and worthy goal,
though none need travel
far: God, at the start, 
having created us
whole, and both
near and far, each of us
having potential radiance
of a star…

happiness is not a splintered
metaphor,  nor Christ a mere
fragment of the greater part – 
the kingdom of love already 
the immortal core-substance
of every human heart...
