Head and Heart

The head and heart, two parallel tracks

Converge or diverge through our acts

The mind measures and calculates

The heart embraces and relates

We dance between the two

What’s done, we can’t undo

Thinking cannot become being

The seen can’t grant power of seeing

The mind’s the roof when there are walls

Boundaryless is a heart’s cavernous halls

For the mind, the ego is the address

The heart, it cannot own or possess

When a heart’s magnanimity flowers

The root of the ego withers

The mind, when longer tethered

Brings joy that can’t be measured
