Heartstrings
Love. Look it up
in the dictionary
if you care to read a human handful
of pallid descriptions – fondness;
deep affection; enjoyment.
Love – the antonym of hate;
the opposite of fear.
Will that do for an answer?
Or, maybe, love –
the mystery beyond description.
There’s no definition in that crowded book
for that which we are most desperately yearning –
the Word to break our chains;
to pull us up from the muck
by our heartstrings.
O child of God, keep your ear cocked
toward the otherworld silence of Meher.
