Notes About The Poem

#9 on Top New Poems April 4, 2022

____________________________________________________________________

Mind of the Heart

Line of inquiry:

“feeling not thinking, soul with love linking ~
we attained God consciousness unblinking” - Unseeking Seeker

The heart has a mind of its own.
The brain may think another way
till spirit moves you to a zone
that shines in a more brilliant way.

Embrace those things that bring a glow.
The heart has a mind of its own.
When you let God’s love-light flow,
no longer will you feel alone.

Enlightenment you will be shown,
and others’ lives you will affect.
The heart has a mind of its own.
Live moments in which to reflect.

Negative thinking needs to cease.
Such thoughts can turn the heart to stone.
Be kind and strive for feeling peace.
The heart has a mind of its own.

Dear Andrea, Such a beautiful, heartfelt poem I love how you’ve captured the idea that the heart and mind can sometimes be in different places, but ultimately, when we let spirit and love guide us, we feel peace. Keep shining, my friend!

Reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go. Yes, our hearts have a mind of their own and we need to use to some judgement (with God's help) in carrying out our heart's desire. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Awesome quatern Andrea. Interestingly I used the expression "heart to stone" in my latest." Weird coincidence?
