I tossed my heart into the sky
It took flight on the wings of delight,
I saw it soar high in its flight
Like a balloon, buoyed by an airy diet.
Soon I saw it reach the clouds
Call me up with words clear and loud,
But my mind was a creature too proud
And so it scurried away into the crowd.
My heart cried out, but in vain
For my mind didn't dare venture out of my brain,
My heart now surely in nerve wrenching pain
Burst and fell into a roadside drain!
So friends, had my mind followed the heart
Such a mishap would never have occurred,
Ah let our mind be where the heart is
So that both can tango in joy and peace!
A balance we all try to achieve and we struggle with, a lifetime. I do believe; The Mind is an organ of The Earth, and The Heart is an organ of The Heaven; but that is just my personal opinion. A thought-provoking poem!
oh wow what a great message Sir.yes mind and heart should go together...unfortunately what the mind says the heart doesnt accept and they part ways leading to more chaos in life. Brilliantly written
Ah let our mind be where the heart is So that both can tango in joy and peace! A pertinent observation. Let the dichotomy between heart and mind cease in order to usher in unlimited joy. (10)
