The heart is the core
of our being--
a fertile soil,
where every thought
begins to take root.
Love and hate
can be planted;
the heart nurtures
whatever it holds.
Be careful, then,
with what you sow.
Time will make you
eventually eat with
what you have grown.
Tell me--
what are you growing
in the dark?
