On heart

Graphic by Bruna Costa

A heart has heart
Beating a pulse, full of red love
Touching the outside world, softly gloved
No prints etched, leaving a trail of new fallen leaves
Spring flows through fall into a hearth-heated summer
Seasons to taste an exciting universe
You gotta have heart to help someone
That’s why you are a good person
You feed the hungry
House those living roofless under the sky
Help the shoes that move with pain
Lift the mind to heavenly points
Bursting with the ripeness of honeydew
Deserving of a kiss of innocence, capturing the world
One by one
Yes, in love, a heart has to be the heart of giving
To all mankind
