A Heart in Two Parts

As with all of life's ponderings
I wonder how,at the same time
my heart can be both happy and
sad, hurting so bad


Happy when I sit on my porch
and see the birds going to nest as
another sunset of beauty puts my
mind at rest


Sad because relationships are not
what they should be, and the world
is in confusion blanketing us all
with delusion


Wondering how we can keep putting
on a happy face while the whole
human race is turning one against
another cursing their brother


Needing someone to share  kindness
with, but finding we are all distracted
with things amiss, and so we each find
peace  only as dreams increase


Wanting to take part in life instead, it
 has become, the very thing we are in
retreat from, so we hurry to our solitude
 in which we sit to write and brood


The more  I contemplate, the more I ask
 is it our fate, to be so cut off from our
families for we see things they don't see, and do we leave our friends behind for we are of a different mind


Happy for the meanderings of the mind that help me find, that heavenly highway  I had for a time put away, the celestial family that awaits
with open arms, does no harm, love abounds in angelic  sounds...


A happy sad heart~

Fantastic write of the confusion of feelings when both happiness and sadness can be felt at the same time.

The same sensitivity that makes us feel sadness at the state of the world at the same time shows us the the beauty & meaning beyond. Can so relate as so can others! A two-sided coin for sure. Beautiful, introspective write...

a beautiful poem on the duality of being alive ...

Reviewed by Sage Sweetwater
Reviewed on April 6, 2006
A Heart in Two Parts is like blocking out time on our calendars for heavy thinking. A duality for sure. At the same time we don't want people competing for our time and attention, we want them to show up because we are lonely. Days like this, we need to lay out a program of renewing acquaintances and meeting new acquaintances and also have a special-emphasis goal of learning a new word from the dictionary, and then squeeze that word into our conversations. Time use is a highly personal, individual matter of choice and we must be the final judge of how we want to share our time, Eileen.

The paradox of life, ET. I understand what you are saying. Sometimes I think I live in my own little world, but then I think, Well, they know me here! Thank goodness we can always find bright spots and sunshine, even if only in our hearts. Wonderful write!

Peace.

oh this i should keep, yes..
it has been so long, but...
oh, this poem, it, with its 'happy'/sad/ heart ...
this is all too true, I so relate in my way and you are an Inspiration in showing me that, well, that with all this speaks of so eloquently, so painfully much truth...well, you soar with hope as you wander down through the depth of this world/life and find such hope in spirit and more...
Oh, Thank You for this, sigh... you have such a way, this both affects me and inspires, oh to have the strength of spirit you give, here...the 'happy' heart side and, forgive, I ramble, but I Thank you
E., yes! as well!~

I am so right with you on this one, Eileen. Yesterday was the most piquant and poignant of days, so bittersweet that I hardly wanted it to end. So precious the connections remade and lost. But a shame it takes a funeral to bring your truths home to me afresh, amidst the busy, busy (doing WHAT, exactly??!!) lives that we all tend to lead. And yes, the reality too that in the CLOSEST of familial and friendship relationships there is also the duallism of enduring conflict... Passionate and powerful. Bless you and thank you. Kate xx

How would we ever know when we found happiness if we never experienced the sadness ;-). Wonderful insightful write. Enjoyed - gives one a reason to count their blessings for the little things.
