The Heart Remains

All her days
Her heart led her deeds
Now - all of her

Remains.

    1. Dear Tess, this poem was inspired by your earlier prompt. Everyone had a different take, with many different results. So I aimed to write a poem where everyone has to create his or her own storyline. Which starts with a woman with a heart.

    1. I very seldom work with purpose, when I write poetry, Mary. It usually flows. So this was the result, as I said earlier, such an experiment.

  16. Helen, I am really glad you think so, for once again, you show me it was good to experiment.

    It looks unfinished, and yet it was supposed to leave a question, a little something, hanging in the air.

  17. I must admit I can understand what you have said so briefly. Of coarse, we may see the underline philosophy differently, if it is philosophy.
