True hearts have eyes and ears, no tongues to speak; they hear and see, and sigh, and then they break.

What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes.

To read a poem is to hear it with our eyes; to hear it is to see it with our ears.

Hearts In Me

If I look to the world with hearts in my eyes
Then surely I’ll be intrigued and inspired.

If I touch the world with hearts in my hands
Then surely I’ll learn how to understand.

If I listen to the world with hearts in my ears
Then surely I’ll truly be able to hear.

If I speak with the world with hearts in my mouth
Then surely I’ll be kind and gentle enough.

If I think of the world with hearts in my mind
Then surely I’ll be awake to all life.

If I reach for the world with hearts in my palms
Then surely its love will flow through my arms

True hearts have eyes and ears,
no tongues to speak;
They hear and see, and sigh,
and then they break.

The maxim 'see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil' must rate high on the all-time list of wise thoughts.
