The Question of the Heart

THE QUESTION OF THE HEART

 

 

THE CONUNDRUM (A RIDDLE)

 

What can fill a human heart

That cannot fill a head?

 

THE FIRST OF MANY ANSWERS

 

“The heart, kind Sir, is filled with love!”

The mind with thoughts instead

 

THE VALENTINE SCRIPT

 

What can fill my heart, my dear

And stupefy my brain?

“My heart so filled with love for you!

It’s driving me insane.”

 

THE TEACHER

 

A heart first fills with feelings

The brain, oh, mostly logic!

While hearts will swell in passion

The brain  --  It’s pedagogic!

 

THE POET

 

The heart will set life’s course, my love

No rhyme or reason why

The brain prefers discourse at first…

But loses bye and bye

 

THE DOCTOR

 

The heart in all its chambers

Pumps life throughout the body

The mind with all its cells

Thinks thoughts high and haughty

 

THE SAINT

 

The heart has one more chamber

In most an empty room

Once filled with Jesus Christ

The bride awaits the groom
