Meditation

Like strengthening an unused muscle

atrophed, thin, sagging and sad.

Isolating it, bringing it to mind and then

the work begins.

With pain and strain

With such joy and delight

Discovering new range

Discovering new flight.

The Heart roars and welcomes the action

cries and protests

Fatigued from the effort.

But most of all,

Warmth.

Warmth where before there was none.

Now there is Heart. Now there is Heart

and here

lies everything.
