A Healthy Heart

Sometimes the 
lines between
happiness and sorrow
love and hate 
are thin (barely visible
to the naked heart) – 

(a healthy heart 
needing more than 
a steady-beat
to be truly healthy) – 

hearts not created 
merely for pumping;
nor for expressing 
exclusively within 
the Body-visceral
while excluding 
the vaster realm
of metaphysical being

(confined within a cage of bone)

(drowning in its own
oxygen rich fluids)

No, the heart truly
reaches out -- beyond
muscular attributes:

exceeds surface 
perimeters of flesh 
and blood – 

transcending
the core-less Atheist
concept, absent a 
spirit and soul
for greater inspiration…

refutes the materialist, 
who sees only 
superficial reality,
excluding the essence 
of divine interaction
and miraculous manifestation –

The heart I speak
stretches the rulers
of medical Measures – 

remains an enigma to science,
and by contrast -- the light
apposing dark-sided men 
who reject Christian-unity daily

as did those prosecutors 
of The Son of Man

who rejected Christ love 
and His revelation 
of Divine Source
and Holy Trinity….

Thought provoking! I've always been of the notion that prose holds a mirror up to society but poetry smashes that mirror. Your poem is wonderfully destructive. Thanks for sharing....................peace!
