Oh My Heart

My heart is full.
Thus these sweet words
begin to form on my lips,
like the drops of dew
heavy on the summer grass.

My heart is my soul’s mouthpiece.
It initiates a hug and a kiss.
It writes poetry and letters.
It moves my hand to open doors
and my feet in the service of others.

My heart beats
in such perfect harmony
with all the wild tempos,
and all the rhythm players
to a song I call,
A Life Well-Lived.
