deep enough to love...more than one
warm enough to light flames of desire
and fanciful enough to easily inspire
vertical dances in enchanted moonlight
and horizontal dances in candle-glow
some hearts are tender, softly romantic
able to resurrect reveries of youth
when love was new and desire untried
but intense enough to ignite blazing fires
on hearths where roofs are snow covered
some souls are old
they drifted in barges on ancient rivers
and bathed in blue pools of lotus blossoms
a thousand hellos and as many goodbyes
lie folded in their sea-chests of memory
where lovers’ magic kisses live on eternally
the ocean incessantly calls to them
a siren they have no strength to resist
and the mountains whisper their names
on fragrant breath of juniper and pine
they find their strength in woodlands
and love in each heart they embrace
for some hearts are large
they know the potent power of dreams
the insignificance of measured distance
the beauty of love for love’s sake alone
their art is joy and unfeigned compassion
from brushstrokes of laughter and tears
fantastic poem, La Belle ... ancient souls do encompass the depth of love and the magic of the stars ...

keep the soul 4ever young, else if negleted it will neglete you when needed as it is the only thing to join you on ones death bed, everything else will forsake you at that moment....
This reminds me of snow and magenta colored hoop skirted velvet and the curls sparkling with snow...oh how romantic. The whole picture is one of centuries old but, somehow, transended to today. Hearts are old and hearts arew versatile. They give although scarred and they continue to love. It's the most amazing emotion of life...is love and the heart!

Old souls with big hearts traveling through this lifetime that will hopefully be the last time on this plane. We can only hope the trials of today will be behind us someday.
As always, Belle,
Some hearts are large, some souls are old!! This is FABULOUS, Belle! What gorgeous depths of insight and so beautifully crafted: Artistry with such a creationist feel, like a canvas of all the facets of our loving humanity. But are some of us chameleons?? Or is it the artistic temperament to not truly know who or what we are... just able to readily identify and soak up through osmosis whatever our touchy-feely antennae are picking up? I truly think this is one of your very best. You are such a wise, beautiful large, ageless heart and soul... and ingenius mind! :)) Love this, and you. Kate xx

The hearts, one and all, answer to a call they cannot resist . . . When the soul become old, sometimes the hearts are still large . . . I like the idea here . . . Mainly because it is the truff' . . .
I really like this one, Belle. And I agree whole-heartedly with the premise. If you have time, check out my "Soul Mate" which takes a different twist on a similar idea.
