The heady hearty conversations!

The heart tells the head
I don’t seem to hear you these days
I miss your lecture
And the reprimanding you used to give me
Have I not erred off late?

The head just sighs!
And looks at the heart with a benevolent smile
Says…I admire your resilience! The fortitude with which you move up & about
Oh dear heart! Would you not teach me how to feel things?
Please teach me to feel the richness of the emotions within?

The heart is too shocked to react!
What have we here?
My mentor wants to learn from me?
How can I? An insignificant greenhorn
Illumine the sage of worldly wisdom?

But the head is persistent
In his search to quench his thirst
Of knowing how it feels to lose
And yet be happy for the winner
What makes the heart so forgiving?
How can she smile while hurting?

It’s simple if you try she says
To understand the nuances of my ways
I don’t have the capacity to sit in judgment
Of the rights & the wrongs!
I love to run in the sunny meadows
With the breeze licking at my tresses
I love to stop by & smell the flower that’s beckoning with its fragrance
Without worrying if it's an ambush!

Life is too precious to while away just thinking & mulling over what if….
And yet I could not have done without you.....dear head!
It’s your bosom that gives me the solace when I’m heartbroken
Or feeling let down at times
It’s you who showers upon me your wisdom
And plods me to go and cry a bucket
The tears that wash away the settled dust
And makes me all new again
To go and find another nook
That has a brook flowing
And birds chirping all the way
The whole scene aglowing.
