I carry your heart with me.

By E.

E.

Cummings.

I carry your heart with me.

I carry it in my heart.

I am never without it.

Anywhere I go,

You go,

My dear.

And whatever is done by only me is your doing,

My darling.

I fear no fate.

For you are my fate,

My sweet.

I want no world for beautiful.

You are my world,

My true.

And it's you are whatever a moon has always meant.

And whatever a sun will always sing is you.

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows.

Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud.

And the sky of the sky of a tree called life.

Which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide.

And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart.

I carry your heart.

I carry it in my heart.

Such a gorgeous poem of love and with your voice to take us there

A beautiful reading of a poem I had all but forgotten. Thank you! It was exactly what I needed.

I had never read this poem. I love his elegance in declaring we are all connected. Beautifully interpreted by John’s tone and emphasis.

One of my favorite poems read beautifully by favorite teacher 💜thank you dear John ~ wishing you a wonderful happy 2023! 💫

I love this poem. You read it so beautifully. Thank you for two minutes of pure joy 🙏🌻

You poems and meditations bring me to a place where I feel calm and centered. Thank you.💕

The world would be a better place if people listened to Mr. Siddique more often.

Colors, also by ee Cummings is another love letter, though perhaps anxious in tone. Joan Baez read it well in Baptism. I would love to hear Your reading.

Dear John I believe that you are a compassionate and brilliant person, I enjoy listening to you

A lovely rendition ❤️

Such a beautiful poem!

Such ‘Beauty is Truth; such Truth, Beauty… That is all we know; indeed, all we need to know!”

To whom can this be addressed? My nephew recently died at age 54 of a massive heart attack. His doctor made a recording of his heartbeat and placed it in a little bear. John is the love of her heart. Is this poem addressed for Ginny’s hearing or is it directly our relationship with God?

Thank you tears of joy

So beautiful when a voice brings such love & life to the written word.
Thank you for reading this John. Simply beautiful.
