What my heart might say

If I listen to my heart

This is what it might say

Deborah you have a soft heart

Its not easy to have a soft heart in a hard hearted world

That said your soft heart needs protection

Its no good denying that your heart can hurt the way it does

You would not be you

If certain things did not hurt your heart

When your heart hurts

There is a need to answer that hurt with love

From deep within

With poetry

With mercy

With Patience

With tenderness

These are the soothing balms

Your heart needs to know that it has a home

That you can hold it in your breast

And feel it burgeoning inside your chest

For your heart is an ocean and it is deep

And it needs its space

To reflect and love and dream

Your heart is an organ of love

It was designed to love and be loved

When it cannot love or be loved

There is a dam that comes to take the place

Of a river that flows out

From deep inside the very centre of your being

So you must keep trying to find ways

To let your heart energy flow

Don’t block it with anger, regret, judgement or defence

For deep inside your heart knows

That all these things are really

Only calls for love
