heart cries

My Heart Cries

 

I am only flesh and blood

I am only human

a soul

a human soul

my heart beats like any other

my eyes see the moon

but my heart hears its silent glow

when moonbeams shine through polluted air

my eyes see the sun

but my heart hears its sizzling heat

when the atmosphere is compromised

My eyes see the rivers

but my heart hears its rippling complaints

being chocked by the filth of man

I can see the ocean

but only my heart can hear it cry

We are all part of something bigger even when we are disconcerted with out plight. Life and love can be a warm summer's day or a radioactive ocean. If we only knew before we got out of bed.

Who ever has done this to you is a horrible man. I would hope that he did not mean to make you feel like this, and I am sure if he knew he would feel so bad he hurts deep inside.

A dream told me, Everyone should be kissed by the sun. Beautiful poem, it motivates me to be poetic in all I do and write.

R...as you no doubt realize, like free verse from you. My only comment has to do with the 'heart hears' metaphor you're using. Not sure it works. Perhaps 'heart feels'? Just an idea to consider. Well done...bobc

Thank you Bob.. My heart hears these things.. the silence of the moons glow the 'sizzling' heat, the sound of the ripples... hears was my intended word.. poetic license . Thank you for your thoughts I really do appreciate hearing from you you know.. xo Rose
