Peace, one and all…
The Heart is an Eye
The heart is an eye
that sees beyond flesh
to the very essence of things.
The heart is a ship
for carrying us forth
to the blessed shores of eternity.
The heart is a cup,
made to contain
the wine of love.
So may this eye guide our steps,
and this ship carry us forth
and this cup be always overflowing.
(Abdur Rahman, 11th January 2008)

The heart is an eye, it sees so much that the naked eye cannot and understand more than it sees.
Lovely poem.

Perfect and true
What a lovely expression of the heart, which is really not that lump of muscle in our chests, but life itself. The spirit of life is the real mystic heart 
Ya Haqq!

Peace Raatkiranii,
Welcome again!
God bless you for your kind words. Allah bless you. The heart does indeed see more than our ‘real’ eyes.
