heart song

"Open Heart" by Lupen (see all of Lupen's beautiful spiritual art at Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/people/ArtGarden?ref=owner_profile_leftnav)

when i was young

i spoke in tongues

of angels

mantras spilled forth

like rivers of

blue ambiance

my brain soaked

them up like

the sponge it was

and my heart

was as large

as seven oceans

mothers came running

like silver charms

dangling on a bracelet

i sailed the world

and was always brought

safely home

now my feet are stuck

in cold gray clay and

my brain has shrunk

my heart holds

too much fear

and trepidation

i slip on bracelets

let them jingle

at my wrists

and call on my

divine mother:

when this voyage

suddenly stops

will my heart beat

faithfully on

or will there be

a new heart that

never changes?
