Heart psalm


A shy glance,
a small smile:
my heart is strung.

A quiet word,
a warming touch:
my heart is strung.

A heart is wrapped,
enveloped, tied,
willingly bound
in living oneness,
intimate silence,
outpost of heaven.

A tender look,
a sparkling eye:
my heart is strung.

I bet I know who holds the string...
tied with a bow. Happy Valentine's to you and your sweetie, Glynn. Your romance always inspires me to make mine a full one.
