my heart collects
from all around
pulls in bits
from here and there
attracts the good
absorbs the bad
is changed by all
within its path
my heart collects
all sorts of things
some cause pain
some share warmth
some try to wound
some heal with touch
my open heart
does not discern
it feels it all
it tries to learn
searching for the answer
hoping to take in
the single thing
that would explain
what love
really is
Everything around us affects our heart. Even when we try to block certain feelings out. What we don't always realize is that the action of blocking affects our heart. Often times more than the very things we are barricading. We can't always block the pain. The best lessons are often in the painful lessons along the way.
My thought is this, rather than blocking things out or holding everything in, we should learn to filter out the crud. Let's not be afraid to learn the painful lessons. But holding onto the pain instead of the lesson can be detrimental to our hearts and our souls.
