The heart<\/p>\n
beats<\/p>\n
in the darkness<\/p>\n
of the womb<\/p>\n
as a secret<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We are born<\/p>\n
with the heart<\/p>\n
protected by<\/p>\n
the cage<\/p>\n
formed of our ribs<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Each moment<\/p>\n
our heart beats<\/p>\n
inconspicuously<\/p>\n
gathering love and joy<\/p>\n
tears and pain<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The heart holds<\/p>\n
the shrouded complexities<\/p>\n
of our lifetime<\/p>\n
enigmatic and hidden<\/p>\n
even from ourselves<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From the first beat<\/p>\n
in the darkness of the womb<\/p>\n
to the final beat<\/p>\n
toward the light at the end<\/p>\n
The heart is the essence of our mystery<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
