I forget to feel my heart
during the day
when I lie down to sleep
I remember it's been beating for me
without thanks
for more moments than I can count
I place both hands over it
to protect and warm it
it's a newborn baby
my sweet sweet peach
it is not my heart though
it is the Divine heart on loan
my Divine companion
its constant drumbeat of love
carries to all beings
and their beat reaches me
we remind each other of home
I love my heart
this exquisite servant
I cannot comprehend this level of service
and the amount of generosity
and far-reaching gratitude
it can elicit from me
