“Heart” by Jane Yolen

“Hearts are not always red,
Not always full of love,
Not always beating steadily.
Some hearts fall from above.”

A snippet taken out of Jane Yolen’s poem, “Heart”, which was written for a photography book about different shapes and is one of my favorite poems. It goes to show that a poem about something as simple as the shape of a leaf, can mean so much more when you’re open to seeing it in a different way.
For me, when I read these four lines, I see not just the leaf tumbling around as it plays with the breeze, but also a story hidden between the veins of the leaf, a story about strength and pain, about letting go and moving on, a story I’d like to share with all of you, and hope you see it too.

Dream A Better Dream – Lama Pema
“The world around us is just a dream, no more real than the dreams we have when we are asleep. Often we dream about the same people, the same places as when we are awake. The difference is that when we are asleep we have no control over our actions. We have no control over whether the dream is happy or sad. When we are awake, we do have a certain amount of control over how we perceive our environment and ourselves. So when we are awake, we should dream a better dream.” ~Lama Pema~

“I’m Still Alive…” – Big Bang
“I’m still alive…
I may look like I’m dying but I won’t die.
I won’t avoid the eyes of others, I will never hide.
I’m falling until the end like it’s for show, but I’m alive.
There’s nothing more to lose now,
I’m gonna push the past behind and jump out.
Even the way I’m falling is so graceful,
I throw myself to the sky.
I’m free. At this moment, I’ve never been more alive.
I’m still alive…”
~Big Bang~
