I have become too aware of my heart
Beating, Pumping
I seem to notice everything now
I wait for it to make itself known again
and realize that for so long, I barely knew it existed.
Sometimes I am surprised by my own heart
as if it lays in wait to jump out and scare me,
to take my breath away.
As I wait, I wonder
What of my other heart?
Am I aware of how it is growing or dying?
Growing by loving others
Dying by hurting them
Have I been attentive enough
to its continual need of change?
I have allowed physicians to meddle
with my heart of flesh.
Have I allowed The Great Physician
to cure the heart of my soul?
