Limiteless Heart

Limiteless Heart

Al-wasi
the heart is limitless.
Al-wasi
all aware, vastly bountiful.

Can she be big enough
to contain more than
her imagination? Can
she be vast enough
to tickle the breath
of life over breakfast?

The heart is limitless,
the mind makes life
small enough to handle.

Al-wasi
she repeats it
ninety-nine times
in the spaces between
practiced desperation.

Old habits die hard
but Insha'Allah
they do die and the
heart is big enough
to hold them
without bars.

The heart is all
aware, vastly bountiful,
and limitless. Practice,
practice, practice untill
the heart is big
enough to not
exist at all.
