completely open (haiku)

by Maria Francesca

hold a butterfly
with hands completely open
or you will crush it.

hold a beating heart
with hands completely open
or you will break it.

walk into your life
with heart completely open
or it will break you.

Well said, especially in the last stanza.

Yes, though an open heart is bound to arise from an open mind, for when the heart feels crushed under the weight of life it shrinks back into itself, securing itself brick by brick with a wall of thoughts. Open mind, open heart. Closed heart, closed mind. That's what I saw. Well done and well said.
