My Heart A Balance Is Poem by Carol Fleming Klein

My Heart A Balance Is



My heart
a balance is,
weighing in pain
the end results
of love.

weighing in loss
the definition
of absence...

weighing in weight
the burden
of caring...

weighing in wisdom
the intellect
behind principle...

weighing in foolishness
the measure
of folly...

My heart
a balance is,
weighing in pain
the end results
of love.

October 1981
