Cardiac Chronology

You offer us poetic life,
We return coarse jokes
dull from overuse and
less thought.

Words bring richness to my life like coffee my late morning.
Coffee brings richness to my life like a freshly-discovered seventh sense.

God gave us senses,
we have forfeited them for pleasurable conveniences
pass on

Temporary belongs to time
Eternity birthed it

Enduring satisfaction exists
the instant your heart skips.

Does it
feel
taste
sound
smell
look
like You Are here?

In my debt to everything temporary
You poked a hole inside your heart,
and out came the wind of all that has been or ever will be.
You said "breathe deep."
it was for me.
