The wise heart sleeps deep in the chest
Were the soft and silent gears are turning.
There is no stronger muscle in the body.
There is no greater treasure in the world.
The wise heart is a housecat, tame but wild.
The wise heart is an elephant, gentle but strong.
The wise heart is still, but never rests.
The wise heart is completely broken.
The wise heart is a fountain spring.
The wise heart is a marriage ring.
The wise heart is a tire swing.
The wise heart is an empty thing.
The wise heart is the same
In laughter and in weeping.
The wise heart sees everything,
The wise heart says nothing.
The wise heart is too big for one person.
The blood of the world flows through it.
The wise heart loves what is loveless.
All evils are held safe inside it.
