the world has a heart

Posted on April 23, 2013 by Susan L Daniels

barefoot
and closer to growing
he speaks
what green feels

he sways to the drum
of this world–
the heart

the driving
undiscovered pulse
at the core

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    I always enjoy when color is allowed a personality .poetry. Feeling green–restful. Says so much to me.
