The Heart

The heart is not heart shaped
It beats not in your chest

It is extraordinary
That most people have never seen the heart

It is hidden
Hidden behind reflexes ancient

Behind Body supports
And finely tuned movements

You would not recognise it
Most humans have never seen it

And for those that know what it is
Would not term it the heart

But I would
It is the heart

Its control phenomenal
Its depth uncontainable

Yet it is housed
Protected

It is like a root
Has chambers

More than four
Has fibres aplenty

It knows
It feels

It bounds
Leaps with electricity

It is a highway
It has breaks

It has lights
Valleys

But it is secret
We use it everyday

Yet it is secret
Like the air we breathe
