What We Know About Beginnings and Ends

drawing of a heart

A Kaddish

The smart ones knew about the
chambers of the heart
There is a life force
A point existing within
The life force within
Every living thing
When we know it
We enter and meet there
Glued to this point
Bonded
One soul wound up
With another
I belong
To you
You belong
To me
Rest within your heart-lines
Say I am to each other
Amen.
