cor coram deo
Harvey S. Mozolak

all ways
where the heart beats
the being found
by the God worn out
stilled it
will be filled
with praise
or dread that to be dead
is not the end
where there is an always
for the found heart
by tradition the figure
is called the sacred heart
of Jesus bleeding red passion
or aflame at the center
of his chest
or is it his?
perhaps his is hidden
within the resurrected flesh
and he rather holds
faith enflamed of earth
bound beating
pray so
belief circulating
its living core
