There Is A Heart Everywhere
There Is A Heart Everywhere
There Is A Heart Everywhere
On a mountain slope,
A herd of goats attentively negotiate
A steep incline whilst two passing travellers
Stare incredulously at the spectacle.
How do they not fall off?
You cry,
“What hope is there for the rest of us?”
The next transformation will come from the inside.
We humans keep stumbling upon the secret,
Then it gets crushed before it flowers.
One day we will be climbing a tall mountain,
Wondering why we gave ourselves that pain
Of charging at mere phantoms.
Transformation
Freedom
On a grey street,
A group of youngsters huddle together,
Faces hidden away in their hoods.
Now they are smashing up a bus shelter.
An old lady hurries by, tutting,
“What a world we live in these days!”
Imagine strolling up to these youngsters,
Exclaiming,
“What the hell are you doing?
The world is really beautiful out here.
There are trees to climb,
Flowers to pick,
Valleys with streams to damn,
Wood to craft and make things with,
Wide open spaces and breathtaking freedom.”
Growth
Boldness
One morning,
You wake up together
And you find you are fighting over the same
Book of spiritual poetry.
You go to make breakfast,
And you want the same music playing!
It’s almost as if you have been
Spending your whole life aimlessly
Wandering down a path just in order
So that you could meet up with this one.
What of the man who hurls his wife’s ashes to the wind?
