I have to see a cardiologist
she said and
I could feel the concern in her words
They saw a thickening
in one of her chambers
and she kept talking
about her visit
and what they said
but the words which stuck out to me were
open
clear
strong
and full.
I know she was talking about
the physical
but I was thinking about
the spiritual
and to what extent my heart
was open,
clear,
strong,
and full.
I was reminded of a meditation
where I massaged my heart
and slowly removed
all that was hard
leaving behind
one that was soft
and so now
I am examining my heart
to ensure it is not only soft
but open,
clear,
strong, and
full.
Is yours?
