Heart Leadership

May 3, 2022 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

one must follow
to learn lessons of the followers
so when one leads
they understand the needs
and as leadership increases the followers reflect
as the one body has stretched

truth is bread to the body
let not the tongue utter
what displeases the heart
and the vibrations upon it
will be like a massage
as opposed to a fist which squeezes

the ears will take in the harmony echoes
soothing the heat like a violinist
for when the heart speaks
the body, and its organs
listen and follow

and vitality is increased like integers
but if one unwilling to follow desires leadership
the heart will take the path of least resistance
still showing the example of unconditional love
for when the leader becomes ready to follow
in order to truly lead
