Dialogue with my Heart

i spoke to my heart
it did not answer -
where are u heart, i need u
now?
i am here, it responded faintly,
why so faint heart, ur voice
was once clear and resounding?

i have not removed myself
to distant lands of torment,
you have left me forlorn

i need u heart i would never
forsake u

surely u know i have always sustained ur life
not from movement alone, i beat for love’s sake
and for love i pulse with the harmony of creation,
all existence is love manifest;
u are troubled because u have drifted,
beguiled by lies and deceit

O, heart, i weep for myself
and lament that folly has overtaken me

heart responded clearly,
without me to guide u
u are dead tho i would maintain ur life as long as possible,
but what is a life devoid of love? a walking death a living hell,
am i party to perversion and abhorrence?

surely not, thank you my heart,
i will anchor myself in ur
loving guidance and steer my life according to ur compass,
never again will i stray
from my love and life
