Astronomy of the Heart

To truly see, my love,

Look, as if through a

Telescope, but look

And see with the heart.

Blind yourself to the

Myriad distant stars,

And let your soul seek

Her own radiant light.

Let the world laugh

At your treasure -

Invisible by day,

Unseen by night -

For they know not that

It is the elixir to heal,

And bring your dark,

Lonely world to life.

Look and see with the heart. Eyes only tell you nothing. So much wisdom here. A sophisticated piece of writing Laz. Pleasing imagery. Love the title.

To look and see yourself, and let the world laugh if the will, is a gift. It is a source of strength, one most people overlook. I love how you balance your plea with wisdom, and create something profound with simple statements. Nicely done!

This is a graceful image-filled metaphor for finding one's own brightest heart star within the myriad background-noise twinkling stars of life (((HUGS)))
