I found a piece of heart-shaped chocolate
that lacked heart-shaped intent,
an accident of manufacturing
like the heart-shaped stones my friend collects
are accidents of weathering.
I find my own heart changing shape
polished by exposure from the seasons of my years.
Constancy is a barren desert;
I prefer evolving fate,
the unintentional change that melts my heart.

Beautiful!

Very powerful – and there are wonderful analogies and metaphors here; excellent introspection and “wise” conclusion in understanding 🙂

I also really loved the poem where you were “burritoed” into your blanket! 😊

Oh, you are so sweet to remember that poem. That one was a fun winter poem to write – After the Solstice https://intentionalinterplay.wordpress.com/2016/01/04/after-the-solstice/ although that was a different solstice. Thank you.

This has to be one of my favorites, LuAnne, especially the lines, ” Constancy is a barren desert; I prefer evolving fate”

Enchanting – both words and image. I too have collected heart shaped stones in my time. I love the way this makes me think of being patient with my heart and feelings, for change/softening takes time… Harula x

That is such a lovely idea. I do have a friend who collects heart shaped stones and I now find myself looking for them to bring back as gifts from my travels. Now you have given me a kind reminder every time I stumble upon one. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts.
