MY HEART IS FULL
My heart is full -
Full of all the things that are too rich
For words to say
Too bright for oils to paint
Too sweet to sing
My heart is full -
Novelful
Galleryful
Choirful
But I can't empty my heart
Of all these rich things
Because
My mouth is too poor.
Reach for my heart
Pluck from me my most tender words
My richest colours
My joyous fanfares
I am full.
Empty me
So that together
We can enjoy
Riches.
I wrote this poem for my sister, of all people. Crazy or what?
