The Thoughts of the Heart

"The Thoughts Of The Heart" The thoughts of the heart are the hearts of all thought This is proven by every word that's ever spoken The inner state is defined by the choice of words sought They sound either whole or they either sound broken This is proven by every word that's ever spoken Sometimes what is said is often what should be not They sound either whole or they either sound broken Especially with the words from a negative thought Sometimes what is said is often what should be not A mean spirit could not care less what to say Especially with words from a negative thought It shows the inner darkness and a spiritual decay A mean spirit could not care less what to say It prefers the tint of shadows to the shining light It shows the inner darkness and a spiritual decay It makes the high noon appear to be the dark of night It prefers the tint of shadows to the shining light There's no knowledge that the heart is full of treasure It make the high noon appear to be the dark of night Positive words are the heart's truly honest measure There's no knowledge that the heart is full of treasure Words are either golden or they simply sound like tin Positive words are the heart's truly honest measure Defilement is what comes out a mouth ~ not what goes in Words are either golden or they simply sound like tin The inner state is defined by the choice of words sought Defilement is what comes out a mouth ~ not what goes in The thoughts of the heart are the hearts of all thought WTA-IV 7/3/2016

You have so well explained the verse found in Matthew 15: 17-20:) The first line itself is captivating:)

You laid out a spiritual truth and intelligently broke it down. Thoughts held in mind, produce in kind, also words have the potential to stab as effectively as any sword. A worthy write and a worthy read. I embrace the wisdom you wisely shared ... CayCay

Absolutely wonderful, Walter. I think pantoums are beautiful in form anyway but your words of wisdom make this one really special. Defilement does come out, not go in!
