The world that is the heart

in all of our hearts this happens sometimes

The heart,
a place where trust and love belong.
Where compassion should be felt.
The heart can be filled to the brim,
but what it's filled with is up to you.
Although, trust, love, and compassion,
should be filling this oh so amazing thing,
it is scary how at this day and age it is not.
Rather than love, many feel hate.
Rather than trust, many are ever wary.
Rather then compassion, many show no mercy,
give no chances, and feel not remorse.


The heart,
is a very powerful thing.
Although many people do not,
many others do feel that love,
they feel the ever flowing river of compassion,
and the never ending warmth of trust.
If more people would believe in each other,
believe in the world, even just the heart,
then the world as we know it,
would be a far better place!
Believe in the heart,
not only others, but yours as well.
That is, in my opinion,
the key to happiness!

Reviews

[Christie Moses]

love is so universal and trust and belief in the heart is so important. Without all of those things, we might as well not exist. Sad what the human race is left with, when they no longer have that softer side. We might as well be tumbleweeds in a desert sand.
The heart is life itself really, for within it, lay what motivates us all.

The heart always beats on no matter how many times it is broken my friend, great poem.

Great! It sounds a bit like an essay but contains a gem of truth. Smoothly written.
