The open heart

The open heart

Knows no barriers

It answers the call

Of anger, shame and fear

And lets the flow of love flow

Even when it encounters the dam

The open heart

Looks upon the closed heart

As a door

That has been locked from the inside

By someone who

Found the world too hard to bear

And so

Had to erect barriers

The open heart

Even looks upon

This closed heart with compassion

And it knows it must accept

That each and every soul makes a choice

And always for a reason

The open heart just knows

These truths

And it never argues

With reality

But accepts it

Unconditionally
