heart song

Every time a heart goes forth

on a journey to join

with another,

                         it risks a pain

                                 no body can bear;

                     it risks the 

                        burning tear

of remembering

that true union is impossible

                                                          in the land of the living.

Our hearts/Our souls

are the entity

             full;

our bodies are vessels that demand

division.

My heart

           Your heart

Seek to be whole,

but the walls of our skin

imprison.

Be still and listen

to the voice that is you,

that voice that has no body.

It is the voice of God,

                      and God

is the juncture

at which we all meet.
