POEM STARTER
How could something so small take up so much space in my heart?
Compose a poem inspired by this question.
Heartbeat
Why is it
that
our eyes
only
see
the surface of things?
Eyes
no eye
except
our hearts
will ever feel
the sensation
to not just survive
but
to
live.
Every
heartbeat-
measuring
smiles
laughs
good times-
not by their size-
that’s what eyes are for-
but their weight.
Ever wonder:
How-
How can something
so
small
take up
so
much
space
in my heart?
Now you know.
None of what is important-
memories
tears
joy
fears
No,
never is any of that measured in size-
its a treasure
that is hidden
from everything
other than
our entangled hearts.
