The Heart

What a mighty and powerful muscle.
Capable of amazing things -
literally and figuratively.
It keeps you alive.

Beyond that . . .

it races with excitement;
it skips a beat with joy;
it is broken with betrayal;
it is worn on your sleeve with openness;
it is stolen in love;
it is shattered in pain;
it is swollen with pride;
it is empty with hurt;
it is given in love;
it is touched by kindness;
it is followed toward passions;
it is happy because of selflessness;
it is mended with sincerity;
it is grateful for simplicity;
it is full of love.
