The Vessel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You saw that I was crying

As each teardrop fell

You captured it

 

You placed my tears

In your vessel

And carried them with you

 

You saw that I was empty

As I declared

I have no heart

 

You said close your eyes

And put out your hands

I have something for you

 

You had the courage

To take your heart

And place it in my fragile care

 

You asked me

Please keep it

 

I said you need your heart

What will you carry if I carry yours

You said I will carry your tears

 

I carried your heart

And rediscovered mine

 

You saw that I was ready

To empty the tear filled vessel

You danced as I poured it

Into the ocean

 

I saw that you carried nothing

And asked

Would you like your heart back

You said no.. it was no longer yours

It was mine

 

I said close your eyes

And put out your hands

I have something for you

 

I took my heart

And gave it to you

Is love something totally unique to humans.I think not I think it is true in some other parts of the animal world as well.But it is a treasure to be sure

Give your heart to love, your trust to faith, your mind to hope and your soul to God. Then you may share your strength with others. Lovely poem!

m'Lady you've left me breathless as well as speechless with this beautiful blessing of hearts handled with the purest care~ one teaches the other trust~ the other passes the trust to another in love . . . . in this way the human may very well save if itself . . . . through pure love . . . . if only~
