The chunk of heart I gave you was one of my favorites
It was muscled and strong
Youthful, oxygenated and proud
It glistened with a healthy sheen
And radiated wholeness
Despite being just one portion of an *****

There are other pieces.
So you can keep that one.
But please take care of it,
And sometimes pull it out to admire
What a shining example it is.
What a perfect specimen
And how worthy.
There's a long distance journey we all have to make
going from one life to another through death's gate.
One life may not really be enough to achieve that goal
where the game we have to play requires a perfect role.
From "The Quatrains" - ongoing writings since early '90's
