TENDER HEART by Zoe Quiney

Recently I was very touched by some simple words spoken to me: "We have tender hearts"...

I reflected on this and it resonated deeply for me as I consider myself to be someone who leads by the heart rather than the head; which can be both a blessing and a curse.

I'm learning to love my heart-lead life and all it's wonderful twists and turns and the magic it can bring. So I wrote this as an ode...to my 'Tender' heart. 

Tender Heart

My tender heart, it feels so much.

It fills and flows and leaps and jumps

It surges and pounds and aches and breaks

It determines decisions that I must make

My tender heart, my precious source

My sweet serenity, my deep remorse

It answers questions not yet asked

A house of truth, it wears no mask.

My tender heart, it beats and bleeds

To satisfy the soul it feeds

It loves so much, I’m sure it’ll burst:

An overflowing cup, to quench infinite thirst.

My tender heart I give you peace

On days when hurt appears not to cease.

I offer you strength, a place of calm

A gentle wisdom, amid the storm.

My tender heart, please speak your truth

Your knowledge from within the ego’s sheath.

I’ll offer you sweetly with trust and grace;

So that I may know eternal solace.
