Okay, so I don’t write a lot of poetry, and when I do, it’s reminiscient of the stuff you’d find in a text book for modern poetry. I haven’t shared it publicly, but I felt pretty good about it. It was about my general feelings about October, as it has always been a hard month for me. No worries, I’m not complaining. Sometimes I pour out my emotions into my art or writing, and processing that heart power kind of draws it out. I guess it’d be like a spring of water flowing outward (which makes me think of a bible verse about the heart). I think it was something like,
“Guard your heart above all else, for everything you do springs from it” Pro 4:23
So how do we guard our hearts? By limiting and controlling the things that influence us. People, media, books, movies. But I think that’s just scratching the surface.
I don’t guard my heart very well sometimes. I allow friendships that I wonder if they are really good. I think relationships affect our hearts greatly, and that’s something I’m preaching to myself here.
Hope you found my rambling interesting. I encourage you to look up that verse, see the surrounding verses (context), and make a judgment for yourself.
