Notes About The Poem

Unfeeling Hearts

sometimes it so happens
love knocks on icy hearts 
and is cold shouldered

in timeless time jagged rocks
are smoothened by the river’s flow
love employs no force

unconscious souls 
yet rooted in animal nature
appear cloaked in human form

the indwelling spirit
is the same within all
only coordinates differ

there’s neither judgment nor shame
the sunlight continues to stream
on all life without prejudice

I wonder how that is, how one can love, and yet others seem so cold. It has always puzzled me. Very insightful poem.

I am a wholehearted believer in this "the indwelling spirit is the same within all"

That’s how it is ~ as we all be gently breathed by God’s life breath
