EARLY MORNING

the early morning- after Halloween in touch with my heart's feelings

it is so good to be able to feel

sorrow, love, empathy

and even quiet joy

everything is not okay

with the world

but in a solitary person's heart

the turmoil, the lonliness, the anticipation

and the greatest of all, love

brews, stews and grows

a miracle when

our world is busling by:

children cry

victims die

gunshots

pierce

and  yet --

there is love and all that goes with it

inside a  beating , living heart
