Poetry of the heart

(about the awareness of poetry)

I can see
I can feel
I can hear
Every where.... I am aware
of beauty in the shape
of beauty in the touch
of beauty in the sound

The shape of a sentence
that gently guides my mind to see
the flowing patterns in the world
created by the author.

That peculiar 'rightness' of a body
beguiling the mind with seduction
... the addictive high of touch
and stroke... the sensation
that takes me out of time.

The overwhelming joy from the sound
of harmony in song....
and the bursting feeling
when some voices sing
.... all beauty to the ear

The poetry of life....
everywhere I turn the poetry brings
joy to the mind....
... and solace to the soul

My heart sees you.... Hartiku melihatmu
My heart holds you... Hartiku memelukmu
My heart hears you.. Hartiku mendengarmu
