Love Poem: Heart Harmony

Heart Harmony

Who is playing 
the heart's guitar
angrily plucking 
with envy pick
dulling tune
fraying strings
destroying
everyone's beat
to make it conform 
to its screech
causing eyes to tear
and hearts to bleed?
Ego centered
soloist
not all musicians 
are asleep
fiddler
won't let you prick
his string
tune your guitar
play it well 
letting your sound 
unique 
join in the harmony
of a glorious
together symphony
every life has 
its own beat
can one color
with a rainbow
compete
or a sparrow 
like a robin 
sing
and who will hear
the tongue speak
if all is tongue
and no ear?
There is one Maestro  
who hears
inaudible sighs
of the heart
and trumpet blasts
of Angels
on humility
glory stands 
follow His lead
trusting
He will harmonize 
your beautiful tune
with the notes 
of the whole universe
into a joyful
springtime symphony 
of love.
