Analysis of The Heart
George Mottram 1945 (San Juan)
The Heart
The Heart is the temple...encompassing all emotion
The greatest gift...love
Resides in the heart
It is here...we give ourselves to one another!
That gives new life...reflecting ourselves
Within the walls of each chamber...remembrances of their
Faces...their voices...their love, the challenges...the
Changes that makes us better
When the Angel of Death should appear...to some great
Fear...the answers never clear
When He appears...unexpectedly, taking love from us
The upper chambers...fractured beyond repair
The lower chambers...shattered....pain insurmountable
Some pieces ...echo their name
To some, who embrace...erase the pain of life
Risking Damnation
Those with the heads of white who wait living long lives
Salvation
The Heart is the temple of whatever we hold deer
Reveals ...who we are
