Poetry: To feel

by Sheila Rowell

Created on: March 19, 2009

What Color is Your Heart

When all is well, we normally possess a

Cheerful-colored heart that shines

Brightly from the inside out

If we are sad, heart-broken and lonely,

The heart tends to take on a bluish tone

If we become mean and vindictive,

The heart may be the blackest of black

Bruised by ignorance and

Self-serving to utmost

Is your heart any of the above hues?

Or, are you someone that has a

Heart that is comprised of a variety of colors,

Or, is your heart colorless,

Filled with nothing,

Emitting nothing,

Cold, confused

And never amused?

Regardless of your heart's

True color, get a tune-up

And as needed, periodically

Do preventive maintenance

And get those hoses replaced

For if continue to operate

This fragile vehicle without

Fine tuning

It can become very costly to repair

And a replacement may not

Be available in time to prevent

Permanent damage to yourself

Or those around you.
