    Poem Commentary

    This can be interpreted in many ways that I will leave to you, but I was initially thinking of a young couple.

    Gifts

     You’ve been entrusted a heart
    A fragile and wondrous thing

    It can be crushed under the weight
         Of the smallest word

    Or hold the universe together
         Through the most desperate times

    It’s connected to a mind

    Thirsty for knowledge

    It can calculate the beats of its heart
         Or hours in a day

    But still marvel at a sunset
         Or the wonder of butterfly wings

    It belongs to a soul

    Gentle and caring as young as it is

    It will make mistakes being given free will

    It can be forgiven and begin again

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
