Sometimes too big
when I see them
hanging out of sleeves
Strong scarred
Work wood well
Feel wind and water
through tiller or wheel
Hold tight against flesh
in an embrace sadly never
endless
Hold gently in another hand
smaller softer sadly never
endless
I have a big heart
Sometimes too big
when I see it there
hanging on my sleeve
Strong scarred
Listens to other Hearts well
Feel the wind and water
through adrenaline or peace
Beats strongly against another
in an embrace sadly never
endless
Beats gently against another
quietly in rhythm with sleeping
breaths sadly never
endless
I have a big mouth
Often too big
when I hear it there
shooting first asking questions
later
It could do well staying closed
more than it is open
Take a lesson from the wind and water
caressing whiskers or lapping toes
Take a lesson from my big ears
hear listen understand
speak less
to hear more from another's
mouth sadly never
endless
To speak less through my
mouth
more through my
Hands
and
Heart sadly never
endless.
