Canticle Of The Heart

One
blazing
flame of flesh;
one
torch of blood;
one
luminous harvest
with which to light the world -
heart -
benevolent fire,
you spread your warmth
as bread for the feast
of humankind.
Heart!
Heart without armour,
where you are present
we can not recede -
your full embrace
is with the arms of life,
each love
is the whole of love;
you undress yourself
before peasants
and kings -
to make the mighty
of the smallest.
Heart -
teach us
your courage to be stolen;
your ability to strain;
to give and continue giving;
to expand for love beyond
reach,
for my desire
is that we each hear
your secret voice -
the breath knows no language
like your own:
for when my beloved
sang open your doors -
heart of mine -
a vault of hearts
opened;
a volley of loves took wing:
you awakened the song
of everything.

Take care, keep safe, and stay beautiful,

With love and peace,
