Notes About The Poem

Earth Heart Earth

Here are some thoughts
 that you may wish to ponder 
About our earthly existence 
wherever you may wish to wander

Two organs to consider 
for a moment keep them apart
Both reliant on each other 
refers to the brain and heart

Following conception, the cell division begins
 the first organ, the heart  begins to form
The pulsing of the heart begins around day twenty two
many months before we are born 

On the other side of life
many carcasses in an abattoir I have observed
Up to an hour after death the heart remains pulsing
in total isolation from from the brain and organs that it once served

To me this indicates the importance of both
the breath and heart as Gods loving means of our direct connection
We have no need  for intermediaries to deliver controlling insurrection

 Thoughts and words only arise from the brain                                                                                                                      
Feelings arise from the heart alone 
Joy truth and love important feelings from which we must not abstain

The anagram of heart is mother earth
Consider feelings which define our loving worth

How many times in life have 
your gut feelings been ignored
In hindsight have you wished you had listened 
to what your intuitive feelings had implored

Action speaks louder than words a quote I've often heard 
a hug a smile a kiss a wave arising from the heart
More significant than just uttering affection a thought emanating word
