The servants of the heart
The servants of the heart
Hands said, "We serve thee With our curving, vita; strength- Lift, carry, grip and press- Are hard or tender, at thy will." | |
Eyes said,"We show thee How that mortal garment Of an equal spirit Fronts the shining sir." Blood cried," I make known Your storm and ache." | |
Lips said, " We free thee From that raging at the walls. We find way with sound, And find a soundless way..." | |
Heart never answered, but, aware, Beat on with deeper will Than flesh could serve, And in the hidden chamber One wise voice prevailed, Command me. I am Mind." | |
