The heart is where
emotion and need
mix with desire
in equal measure
to obtain
balance of self
in some sort
of symmetry

while distributing each facet
separately
to be maintained
in it's own space
and place
in time


until
rocky roads
lead to polished surfaces

where each part
can be divided
with certainty
not either to the left
or right

but to where need falls
the greatest
to support the weight
of life.

~~~

Pristine thoughts
are sustained
gaining strength
to carry on
the continual struggle

for balance
while maintaining
secure foothold

and sensitivity
of the heart.



~~~

Worth of heart
cannot be summarized
in measure,
nor can value be
placed upon it

for how can a heart
be defined
in numerical systems….

It is to refined

to be constricted
by mere dollar amount...

~~~
It is not in how one
carries the load~

Hearts of gold are measured
by the compassion that they show...

           priceless.


seek the flame within yourself
and let your soul be cleansed by
the fire of love.  Axel Ekenstierna

And this is priceless

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
