Heart Nebula poems, sad and happy

Posted on 1313 by Kat Lehmann / @SongsOfKat

diffuse heart, tenuous –
filaments of loss, reaching –
barely cohesive,
holding empty worlds

The Big Bang of Love –
springing the universe forth
in love’s image,
expanding for billions of years.

I like the quick hit of this poem…not only speaking of the wonder of the physical universe but that universe of our hearts, emotions, longings to be pulled together and made whole…very cool.

  Thank you! Twitter has helped me notice the extraneous. I’m so glad you could see the connections I was trying to draw. I see humans as a part of nature, following the same patterns.
