My Sacred Heart
My heart sinks,
On fire,
Setting into the ocean
Flaming arrows of light
I breathe in the Sun
The sweet saltiness of the sea
Receive its soothing warmth
To paint a path of golden light
Amber liquid
Searing my throat
Flowing down into my hurting self
Sewn together with love’s intent
Accept the agony of the piercing needle
Winding in and out
Attaching the bridal gown
With the silken thread
New choices
Sanctity to be restored
Free the sacred heart
Undo the silken cord
– Hettienne
