Opening the heart chakra

When we say, ‘I am’, our hand goes to the heart,
signalling it represents seat of our soul,
which drenched in God’s love deems no one as apart.
To open the heart is our very first goal,
without which in truth soul’s life quest cannot start
but the problem is, ego is in control 
and so animal instincts as yet prevail,
with thoughts orbiting dark desires that assail.

The heart is all love and love employs no force,
so it’s only by free will that we can choose,
to make our touch gentle and change our life’s course,
heeding voice of conscience, repaying our dues,
atoning in silence and feeling remorse,
praying like a child till love begins to ooze.
Heart is the centre of our chakras seven;
God dwells deep within, so take it as heaven.

Should be #1 Best poem but I'm not in charge, not even of my own heart. So, thank you for this incentive to quite the roaring voice in my head.
