Sincere Heart

Bust of  'King Robert the Bruce of Scotland'

Sincere Heart
7/8/10

Touched life's preciousness recently
reminding mortality while sick,
plus nursing Wing dog
who's showing her age,
through aches, appetite loss,
it opened protected place
guarded by arrogant bravado
against my inevitable demise,
keeping fear at bay
as if ignoring adversaries
weakens them until disappearance,
now I welcome all,
becoming old, wise King
who wants peace, conciliation,
having things in order,
all words, concerns heard
before leaving this Existence,
meanwhile entering unveiled realties
naked sincere heart reveals.
