Heart Songs

What we feel matters much more than what we know. –

                                                                        George Moore

_______________________________________________

There is something precious about a feeling

There is also something dangerous

A feeling comes from the heart

dredged up from a deep place in the soul

wild and unbidden

raging

wild

tragic or ecstatic

driving us into action

for good or ill

it often matters little what we know

logic often has little to do with it

sometimes we wish

our heart songs

would simply fade away

into the dull anonymity of our thoughts

but the song goes on

piercing us with

pain or

joy

and making us

truly

alive
