I mapped my heart today
In black and white
A list, a simple formula
Of my life
And found with surprise
A pattern therein
A pattern of lights and darks
Valleys and peaks
I traced each path
I saw whence it came
Where it went
I found where the fears
Tied knots round my heart
I tried to loosen them, but
My fingers could not yet
Work loose the knots
But I found them
There in the dark times
Holding part of me hostage
I saw the climb into the light
The joy, the good times
I saw that my path
Wound back up
Into the light here and now
I must use this light
Here and now
To see the dark knots
And loosen their
Grip on my heart
To leave it free and open
Once more

This is simply beautiful. Thank you.
it’s a fascinating exercise to sit down and chart one’s life and see if any patterns emerge. This is a beautiful piece
Yes, I agree this is lovely and free flowing.
Beautiful! Your heart is much like my own, thank you for putting it into words.
I have not had time to get in here and read Jane but I am going to spend some time checking out what you have been doing because you are really doing some important work here. This is an exquisite map of the heart.
