hEart.

THe number lines is from the version in the bible, you know how each line is number hence:  So and So 25:13 or what have you.  THe numbers really mean nothing in this piece except to hold to the original.
thanks.

Thank you.

More info...I wrote this late one night in a hotel in Seattle.  I couldn't sleep so I opened up the bible and decided to re-write parts of it.  I found the Michtam in Psalms and line for line re-wrote it trying to keep the same feel and structure.  Jaddish is a reaccuring Muse (I hate that word, but it fits) in my writing.  She is the object of affection in the few "love" poems I write.  Thanks for your interest.  Any more questions, I would be happy to answer.

If interested, this comes from Psalms 16:  Michtam(also Miktam) of David.
