Meeting Rooms of the Heart


The heart has meeting rooms the material world cannot rent.

In these meeting places, 
     we are honest with ourselves, 
                    and our best friends.

Conversations take place 
               in codes no one else understands
                              about needs no one else told us to have.

In these sacred spaces, God roams freely with our other friends.

While we pass time together, 
          fun is taken seriously.  
          And serious issues are fun to solve.

Strangely enough, within the heart, 
                    no one fights, 
                    though opinions can always differ.

But some of the best moments happen 
          after the material world charts a death 
                                   or 
                                   a loss of our friends.
But for those who know how to see,
               it’s only a matter of time 
                         before our departed friends 
                         return to our heart for a visit.  
                              And they will stay as long as they wish.
