Music of the Heart


Black
--------The heart throbbed 
with complete absorption of light
clotted passageways 
pounding through vessel walls
degrading sighs thinned the air
clutching the heart at its low
 the mind shut down

White
--------The heart fluttered
with all the colors of the spectrum
smooth passageways
flutter-echoing throughout soft surfaces 
uplifting exclamations breezed into the air
opening the heart at its high
 the mind unfolded itself

Colors
--------The heart rejoices
basking in the brilliance of nature
iridescent pirouette   
swaying to a Chopin's Ballad 
enlightened epiphany in an instant
sprouting blossoms from the heart
the mind transcends
