Focusing on what unites us " Oh Heart" a love poem from a non Christian to a Christian

Oh Heart !

Oh Heart ! What hurt has built a wall round thee
When did love become the enemy
That unrequited came undone
And left a world so barren

My love lays bleeding rosy red
It's cruel thorns smite my weary head
Oh if only I had understood
Would I have ever pledged my love

Above the rooftops of the town
A pair of doves flutter down
As the light of the world grows ever dim
My eyes transfixed turn to Him

Who gazed into my soul and " I got it"
His unconditional love ... His spirit
Unspoken now let it suffice
This love is not a sacrifice .

Beautiful!

Wow, so very heartwarming, unique, refreshing!
So, back-atcha... (Spirit sent me this message to give you):

With joy with hope My Heart doth see
The Love which emanates from thee
'The Way' I taught lives deep within
Thine 'heathen' heart so pure and free
Of mankind's tampered Songs from Me.

Of names and labels I care not
For nary a religion I begot
Yea Love instead is what I taught
Ye followers forever sought
To shine The Light the lost have naught.

My eyes transfixed turn to Him

Who gazed into my soul and " I got it"
His unconditional love ... His spirit

Explain that Dichotomy please...

It makes sense to me... "he got it" ...the Unconditional Love... His Spirit.

As new here described ... "She got it"

As in "Gnosis" or when "The penny drops" ... I do not usually like to explain poetry as it kills the readers own individual interpretation.

The poem is layered with meaning for both Christian and non Christian readers purposely ... It could be a type of love poem about another person or about Jesus ...

The uniting factor is that of understanding Unconditional Love and the Spirit of such a person who holds such a love.

It is this Love that can and does unite us

However it can mean what ever you think it is

Thanks for your question and interest.
