Enduring Hearts

The left handed boy with a stick in his hand drew a row of hearts across the sand. Tides crept in and washed them away but he drew them again the very next day.. A girl pinned a heart on the arm of her sleeve. It rhythmically pulsed and began to breathe, open to all to give and receive.. Children colored hearts and kept in the lines. They gave theirs away as Valentines.. A teen carved a heart in the base of a tree, professing his love til eternity.. Two lovers soaked in a heart shaped tub, their bodies intertwined in an intimate hug.. A life is now gone and laid to rest while their heart beats on in another person's chest..
