Like a child of the universe 
My heart drinks
The love 
That comes 
In a flow 
Of warmth 
Like the breath 
Of my beloved. 

At base level 
The heart is a pump
An organ of flesh

Higher 
It is organ of feeling 
Floating on an emotive sea

And yet higher still
It is receiver 
Of higher dimension

And the portal 
Through which
The universe 
Feeds its children

An opening through which 
Love pours 
Into self
Ignites the body to living 
And lifts 
Everything it touches 
With light 
Owned 
By none 
But God.
