The Human Heart – A poem on love

If its deepest chamber could be opened

What we would see?

Some other kind of strength perhaps.  

A way of loving that wraps harmony

around the human family

 

A heart that holds sunshine inside

Like the sunniest, strongest flower imaginable 

Stay still enough,

Look deep enough inside

And you will see it.

A memory we all share of an ancestral age

 

Before divisions began

Before even sorrow began

 

Some have seen those faces in dreams 

Some have even slipped

into a vision of that former age

And never wanted to leave

that world of complete happiness

 

Never wanted to stop gazing into faces

made so exquisitely beautiful

By an inner, golden, light 

Of souls so pure, so unconditional in their love

So powerful in their state of fullness…

 

Yes, this still heart remembers

And maybe even aches a little

For our lost paradise…

 

So Much Love – Poems by Christine Bell
