JR's Here with a "Spirited Heart"

Hello all! JR here; trying to get back in the saddle after some rough times. I thought I'd share a poem inspired by various events in my life. The poem is actually published in an anthology and can be found in the following book - In My Lifetime: Sentiments . I hope you enjoy the poem and have a great week.

Much love to you all,

JR Boyd

"Spirited Heart"

by

JR Boyd

Far beyond where the mind can reach

There's a place so close you can hear it speak.

It speaks proportions unlike many have ever heard;

And, yet, you'll never hear a word.

Some build walls around it to protect it,

And some will merely neglect it.

People abuse it

Rattle it and break it.

Few will rarely take it; but,

The ones who do will make it...

Make it smile, make it sweet.

Make it melt in a heavenly treat.

Far beyond where the mind can reach

Is a place so close you can hear it speak.

It speaks volumes some of you may have heard;

And, yet, you never heard a word.
