i carry your heart with mei carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart) Edward Estlin Cummings What strikes me about this poem is probably pretty obvious. It's beautiful! Sometimes I wonder, who else is carrying someone in their heart? There have to be more people than just me! It's "the deepest secret" that we all have written on our hearts. Someone is there and with us always. Whether that is a friend, family member, or significant other, that love can be taken anywhere. Who is the most world-traveled person ever? LOVE! What's even more special is that Love grows. Poet e.e. cummings puts it just right. It grows "higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide". I'm constantly amazed by the world's ability to love. No matter what kind of horror is occurring somewhere in the world, at the same moment someone else is being loved completely. That gives me hope for the type of society and zion that we can have. It's possible. It only takes one person to love another and then let the cycle continue until the whole world is glowing with the strongest, purest love mankind has ever known. |
