When You Give Wings To Your Heart (Tanka)
Your heart like a bird
Longs for freedom unbounded
To love recklessly
An untamed wildbird seeking
The unknown territories
You can't stop your heart
From soaring to greater heights
From learning to fly
If you give it much freedom
If you do not hold its rein
It will burn in time
From trying to reach the sun
Just like Icarus
When you give wings to your heart
Be prepared for a hard fall
Longs for freedom unbounded
To love recklessly
An untamed wildbird seeking
The unknown territories
You can't stop your heart
From soaring to greater heights
From learning to fly
If you give it much freedom
If you do not hold its rein
It will burn in time
From trying to reach the sun
Just like Icarus
When you give wings to your heart
Be prepared for a hard fall

This is true, Summer. Such freedom should be balanced with wisdom of discernment.

The juice is worth the squeeze. All the heartbreak I've suffered. Life is for living. 💖🙏

Your on the same page here as Tennyson, nice: ("Tis better to have loved and lost / than never to have loved at all")

Thank you Josh. One of my favorite quotes. Sometimes we need to just let our hearts fly and soar to experience that kind of love.

Love it. Great write.
Love is a gamble & we can get hurt from lessons learned.
