From heart to heart

FROM HEART TO HEART

If you have words
which you’re about
to speak aloud
beyond a doubt,
you stop them, though,
before you start
to let them go
from heart to heart.

Words are not birds.
You shouldn’t shout,
shout all them out
if they’re not stout.
To haste? – Oh, no!
Be calm and smart
and let them go
from heart to heart.

From heart to heart
there is, I’d say,
the shortest way.
And every day
wherever we are –
together, apart,
so close or far,
we need this heart.
