Feeling Heart

July 17, 2008

~~~

Passion that beats in a feeling heart
floods to the surface, a wailing heart

Seeking the means to express somehow
the shapes and the forms of a peeling heart

Struggling forth through stuttering lips
words fall to earth by the kneeling heart

Fingers outstretched land upon remains
gathering pieces, the healing heart

Aware of the edges and texture within
reborn is the voice of my feeling heart
