Contemplative Haven: For My Mother 
For My Mother
Heart (F.R. Scott, Selected Poems)
Heart goes straight on,
Heart can't turn.
Mountains won't stop heart.
Drives right in.
Heart can't see a fact
Staring it in the face
If heart loves face.
Heart believes in miracles,
Being miracle.
Magnet heart draws loose ends
Into strict line,
Sews patches up
With no join.
Though heart knows heart breaks
When it fastens,
Stubborn, this part!
Never listens.

May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace. Amen.
