My Heart Has New Spaces

Written By Rev Paulette Robinson, PhD

Love opens the heart and makes it feel more expansive. In emptying the heart with loss…love slipping away…the heart contracts while still open in love. There is vulnerability in loss. The heart is not guarded. The loss is an opportunity.

I held a great love for you.
My heart expanded
just at the scent of you
the sound of you
the sight of you.
It beat open and full.
I could reach out
and hear my heart beat
come full circle in you.
I thought I would die
for the fullness.

One day…
without warning
as if warning would change
the heart ache.
You were no longer present.
My heart sought you out…
Returning with each heart beat
Gone…

The emptiness of a heart so full
overcame me
swamped me
echoed of a love gone.

Tears are not enough
Cries of anguish… not enough
Pairing and sleepless nights… not enough
There is no escaping this pain.
The open heart echos in the love gone.

And yet…
my heart doesn’t collapse
it stays open, expanded
seeking out the beloved
not to own in holding
but to embrace in letting go
There is space in the heart.
