Musings on the heart

confusion prevails
as to the location
as also significance
of the spiritual heart

tradition has it the heart is
located at the right
left side, organ physical 
mirroring seat of soul ethereal

the view this pilgrim holds
is that the heart is toroidal
replicating living light of Self
both transcendent and immanent

I am sure my surgeon knew where to put my heart, seeing he took it out for a triple by-pass, 23 years ago.
