My heart was split, and a flower appeared (Solomon)
quietly in repose my heart split open
spilling out a limitless well of love
unconditional kind care for others
where each one comes first
myself an insignificant burst
this love overflowed from top
to toe, like a flower in full bloom
anger and fear not allowed any room

I love this poem and it’s important lesson/message and analogy!
When love fills a space there is no room for anything negative. ‘Tis often a heart that’s been broken that understands love best…and gives love most freely. 🙂
Your heart-flower is beautiful, SweetKate!!! 🙂

The heart splitting open with love and then blooming is a beautiful thing, I think it can only happen when we do learn to be selfless, as your verses describe unconditional love for others. This world definitely needs more of that right now. ❤ 🌹

The spilling of such love, that overflows from top to toe, is bittersweet, which comes across in the lines:
‘where each one comes first
myself an insignificant burst’ –
and flowers do fade and die not long after full bloom.

Love the notion of the effulgent flower filled with all that heart and the diminishing of self as ” an insignificant burst”. Thanks for joining in the prompt
