This is a poem with a wise message. If could use a little more rhythm. I wrote two verses that you may keep for your self to show you what I mean by more rhythm. I overlapped the rhyme using a seven syllable line followed by a five syllable line where all accents match in meter. This may be sung as a song:
Heart
When there's trouble in your life
just take a deep sigh.
Medication for your strife
may be found nearby.
Your best guide is deep inside,
an eternal tie,
where no truths may ever hide.
Just ask your heart why.
Wow this is awesome. I really loved it, there's some real truth to be felt here! Heart knows best, head can be such a clumsy overblown thing compared to the genuine Guru which we all have beating within our chest.
Ah, it was a good piece, one for sure that I think of every now and then. It's a piece that I look into at night and when the time is right I look further more into it and then I thank that I am alright again. Thank you very much for the piece :)
An inspirational verse...the theme...in this with this line:
just take, a deep sigh,
sit, and ask your heart, why..?
seems a bit much...but you can tighten the aspect of the read and more is less in this one...by combining the stanzas and still use the repeating clause...will give this more impact and add to the poem in the lines, for example:
When nothing goes well in life
and, you don't know, why…
When you have done,
everything, you could do,
and still feel, deprived…
Just take, a deep sigh,
sit, and ask your heart, why..?
When everything you planned,
went totally wrong,
and you don't know, why…
When all you thought,
did no more last,
and you don't know, why…
Just take, a deep sigh,
sit, and ask your heart, why..?
And then add the rest…gets rid of the extra bulk that’s not needed…makes the poem flow and not weighted down...

WHY can sometimes be the most difficult question to ask of all. As I've gotten older I have changed my WHY to HOW, how is it I will deal with the situation, not why it is, just how - being more important a question to me ...
