14 Heart Quotes - To Honor Valentine's Day - Healthy Spirituality

Rhythmic pounding in my chest, Constant beating without rest. This is the plight of ever heart, Pumping blood is its biggest part. Physical attributes I see. There still seems more, at least to me. Sometimes it seems to love and feel. Does it have values, are they real? Some think it’s true that it can melt, It also can be as soft as felt. These are the things at times I’ve heard, Many of which I have concurred. After the physical there’s more, Other heart functions to explore.

I've written so few lately, thanks for looking back at a few older ones, my friend. Been working in the yard and building a patio in our back yard, so I've been inactive for a few weeks now. Starting in April, I'm going to try and post a couple of poems a week, not the couple a day I've been posting for the last 6 months or so. I'll be by to catch up on your poetry soon, my friend. Have a great week! Bill

Hey Bill.. Your poem offers a contemplative exploration of the heart, both as a physical organ and as a metaphor for emotion and character. The rhythmic pounding described in the opening lines immediately draws the reader's attention to the vital role the heart plays in sustaining life

We all make mistakes and think, say, and do things we regret; but, I always look at a person's heart to determine the amount of time I want to be around them or communicate with them. I forgive others easily most of the time because I feel it's only fair if I'm going to forgive myself for all the mistakes I make and have made in life. Thanks again, for reading and commenting on my poetry and being my friend. Bill
