Emotions of the heart


Does your heart ever dance?
For the beauty of Life?
Does it take joyful leaps
out of its own tranquil pace?
Playfully like a dolphin
jumping out of the water
to touch the sky?
Do you ever raise your arms
to embrace the sun
when it kisses you at dawn?
And do you ever hear
the Angels sing
when it waves good-bye
from the golden horizon?

Do you ever sigh
when the stars come out
and the moon shines bright?
Does it ever take
your breath away
when you read the stories
written in children’s eyes?
Do you let your tears flow
when you behold sadness
and the world’s sorrow
hits your self-control?
Do you ever fall on your knees
in sheer despair and pain
when injustice is perpetrated
against humanity?

Our souls are equipped
to express all these emotions
so that we may praise
Our Lord of Heavens
for all the Beauty He
planted in this world
and in our hearts.
So that we may work with Him
hand in hand, all together
to restore peace and harmony,
to soothe those who hurt,
to let compassion flow
from the spring of our hearts
for a better tomorrow.

Let’s look around and see
how many souls are waiting
just for you and me
to share our joy and love
with a smile and a hug.

Does your heart ever dance?
Do you ever hear the Angels sing?
Come, let’s spread our wings
and fly high on the waves
of the emotions of our hearts.
They are a blessing Divine
for our souls meant to shine.



Love, Margherita

Life is beautiful, and this poem helped me remember that. Despite the pain of the past few weeks, I can still see the beauty of life and love. This poem served as yet another wake up call for me on the beauties of life outside of my current state of affairs. Thanks.

I have to agree with paraboxer, although the trials that come are way are sometimes a bit much, it is so easy to see through the "emotions of the heart!"  This was just a lovely read from your pen.

          Happy Thanksgiving

Margherita:

yes indeed:

Does it ever take
your breath away
when you read the stories
written in children’s eyes?
Do you let your tears flow
when you behold sadness
and the world’s sorrow
hits your self-control?
Do you ever fall on your knees
in sheer despair and pain
when injustice is perpetrated
against humanity?


I do believe He has sent one of his
here to us . . .
*smile*
Beautiful . . .
xxoo

thank you

Hey Margherita, I was right and maybe wrong about the words. ( re: my response to yours ).

"Does your heart ever dance?
For the beauty of Life?"

Very nice.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

Lovely, Margherita, especially the power, the double meaning power of this line:

from the spring of our hearts

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Yes...yes...YES!!!

This is an absolutely exquisite piece of art!  You know what a fan I am...but, this...this is beyond beautiful. You continually speak to my soul and invite it to live and love and, yes, dance!  Thank you for being the incredibly shiny essence only you can be!

Love and Light...jc

This I know as Truth...we are all Beings of Light.

Does your heart ever dance?
For the beauty of Life?

Playfully like a dolphin
jumping out of the water
to touch the sky?
Do you ever raise your arms
to embrace the sun
when it kisses you at dawn?
And do you ever hear
the Angels sing
when it waves good-bye
from the golden horizon?
these lines in the first stanza are moving
and very natural and pleasant for the senses
I like dolphins I love suns and I adore angels.  

take care

Yes, my heart has expressed all of these emotions.  But is to despair to turn our backs upon God?  At least that is what I try to remind myself.

Hi Margherita: Reading this poem it gives me reason to say: 'Bless the Lord, Oh my soul, and all that is within me, bless His Holy name.' Mainly for the blessings that He gives unto His people; even, for the way He is blessing you in your writing. We know that His name deserves praise. Good for those who will remember to give Him thanks. God bless!
