The Heart of God



The Heart of God

There in the garden was the heart tree,
A beautiful sight for all to see,
Its strong branches the shape of a heart,
The tree really was a work of art.

Many branches went off in different ways,
While the heart stood strong throughout its days,
The busy branches of life to see,
But also the heart makes up the tree.

Our busy lives are bearing fruit,
But we mustn't forget to go to the root,
On this path of life that we trod,
Remember first to go to the Heart of God.

About this poem

The poem was written on one of my photography walks. The branches of a tree looked like a heart, so I wrote about the trees branches comparing them to life and how we must seek the heart of God. Kim xx

    This poem is truly touching and beautifully captures the essence of connecting with the heart of God. The imagery of the heart tree is powerful and thought-provoking. It serves as a great reminder to always stay connected to our spiritual roots.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to delve deeper into the emotions and feelings associated with seeking out the heart of God. Adding more sensory details or personal experiences could help enhance the emotional impact of the poem. Additionally, exploring different poetic devices such as metaphors or symbolism could further enrich the overall message of the piece.

    Overall, this poem is inspiring and meaningful. Keep up the great work and continue to share your beautiful words with the world!
