On the heart

I wrote this poem after reading Lying Awake, a short novel about a nun who finds that her spiritual visions are "caused" by a brain tumor: (I share this in my Master Level Class)

My heart is a tumor,
Causing my body to groan with its longing,
Calling for tears to fill empty river beds,
rushing over dry boulders.
My heart is a tumor.
Remove it and I will travel with it.
My heart is a tumor.
Let it capture every cell in my body,
till I die to myself,
transformed by its insatiable explosion.


PEACE!
Feather

That is one powerful metaphor!
I relate to that....
The heart is so many things.....
