It doesn’t matter who broke your heart Or how badly they broke it. It doesn’t matter how much it hurt. When the new one comes, Love again. And love HARDER. Once you set off, don’t look back. Pain is not and is never our master. Joy and love lie always ahead - Fall forward. It is why we live With the fullness of our heart always to give. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river

MUSIC OF THE HEART
My days feel like years My years feel like days My smile hurts like tears My tears smoothen my ways My hopes are also my fears My fears are my other Ayes My inner eyes are my ears They hear every music that plays. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
WHAT HUMANS CAN DO
A.I. can only do
What has been done before
Only humans
Can do truly new things
Spirit, give me more –
New hearts beat on different strings.
Spirit, give me those things
That only human spirits can do.

Poems from the inner river
YOUR FLOWER
Run down your Friends List Run up your memory quest Run through your heart first You will find the same flower In your happiest and saddest hour And that flower is your power. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
MARCH TOWARDS APRIL
So many things ending in my life this month, as March ends. And so many things starting. Looking forward to April. Is my heart big enough to contain and bear it all? Yes, my heart is always big enough. And when it isn’t, it simply grows some more, grows again.
Aries, as ever, you end the old and bring the new. For me, to me, in me.

HEALING
Thinking of tomorrow Of when you‘ll be gone Your name is Sorrow And your work is almost done. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
HEARTPEACE
She wanted to go with peace in her heart And I decided to give her that peace - Let there be peace in you when you part; If there’s a heaven, it is of it an inner piece And it is the only way to make a new start. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
HOW FEELINGS CHANGE
Strange How feelings change The heart is a shooting range The things that die They don’t tell you why They just stop to cry. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
TIDES OF MARCH
Arriving soon Hardening moon No dawn, no morning It is always Noon. A quiet sun, ready Emotional but steady It is Noon already. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
ADJUSTING
You overcome the pain By becoming one with it. You lighten the rain By learning to dance in it. You conquer rejection By accepting it. You unburden affection By confessing it. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
