Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Mindful Heart

Written: May 17, 2024

               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Artistic portrayal of life events as a diorama
Fog hinders sight, and exertion leads to drama
Seek ease, apathy, evade attentive scrutiny
aging stems mindful swing, leading to mutiny

Noxious prates fit sullen peer or weary mind
facets of human life fetch fluid features blind
time flows faring, etching hearts echoing gaze
debate donning dated disdain diving graze

Ear muffs muffle noise span in swath space.
No opposition spark portrayed downcast chase.
Foster love-prone awareness, not rigged favors.
Grasping sky implies a whole heart-mind flavor.

Arcane quartz artists sculpt clay in amort crafts 
ariose zeal to transcend wasteful calix daft
heart relies on two atria: chemo-electro-static.
capacious using cells that descry axons attic. 

Desultory reactions rather than brazen mindset
Envious quest will reveal mindful heart reset
It will be illusion to eviscerate frivolous notion.
alternately, Inveigle grabbing a gaunt potion.

heart caterwaul mindful love could never fade.
wailing clangor appears dumb to mind, wade.
No corpulent knot withstand swiftness of time. 
Adage," Time cures all scars" is sublime.

Athirst ambitions would awaken aureate love. 
Soon, both of us will rise to celestial skies above.
Amid effusive brain deluge to turn heart-wise 
Love endures eternally after lovers' demise.

Sara Kendrick May 18, 2024 at 1:20 PM I agree some people are bonded together forever where some are not even bonded together in life. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

Hilda Greenhough May 18, 2024 at 1:17 PM Such a sweet conclusion. I love the words of the poem, of seeking ease, apathy, evade attentive scrutiny, the game of balance that is necessary in romance. Genius speaks throughout this verse.

Silent One May 18, 2024 at 5:08 AM Your poem skillfully captures the intricacies of human experience, presenting them as a vivid diorama where fog and drama intertwine with ease and apathy. The imagery of aging and the fluidity of human emotions are portrayed with striking clarity, drawing the reader into a contemplative exploration of the heart and mind. The image of arcane quartz artists sculpting clay with the enduring power of love adds a layer of depth to the poem, highlighting the eternal nature of love amidst the transient nature of life.
