Tour Of The New Heart Gallery Space

I’ve been working hard on a huge business proposition

This is months and months of planning and organising,

‘Open to the Public’ signs have been ordered and delivered

As has the printed ‘Entry’ tickets and merchandising.

***

It’s now time to start advertising for this exciting event

And a date and time to be set for one month in advance,

The building interior has been fitted out to a certain style

An expensive undertaking but we had enough finance.

***

So suddenly the final month in advance has flown past

Opening Night to tour Colleen’s heart is only hours away,

Final finishing touches to the Gallery Space are in process

Once open there will numerous chambers on display.

***

A total sell out for Opening Night with every ticket sold

The time is almost on us and there’s a queue outside,

A Final run through of the Gallery Space to ensure it is ready

At the front door we have programmes to be supplied.

***

Strike of the clock at the opening hour, as the doors open

A Tour Guide starts to lead the first group down the aisle,

“Ladies and Gentlemen, you’ll experience many emotions

Beginning in this chamber of when this heart was a child.”

***

The Guide led them through the first chamber of childhood

Where they felt intense terror, deep sadness and fear,

From a childhood consisting of years of agonising abuse

The Guests felt these emotions and all faces showed a tear.

***

“Ladies and Gentlemen, let’s keep on through to the next

Which happens to be the Teenager Chamber of this heart,”

As they entered this chamber, they experienced high stress

Residual left from youth homelessness being a large part.

***

As they moved further into this chamber, they felt true love

The pairing with her soul mate during her teenage years,

Some of the Guests were enjoying the intense feelings

Would rather stay to bask in its’ glory and offered a cheer.

***

The Tour Guide left those guests behind and moved the rest

Slowly walking through an aisle until they reached the Aorta,

Through the Aorta to the rear chamber filled with happiness

Sheer joy of having two boys, while still trying for a daughter.

***

We arranged comfortable seating in this chamber to enjoy

Beautiful feelings experienced while having afternoon tea,

It was glorious to see Guests soaking up all these emotions

This alone was the success we hoped that we would see.

***

“Ladies and Gentlemen, we are nearing the end of today’s tour

We have the very last chamber, down this aisle and to the right,”

They didn’t want to leave the happiness and joy they all felt

But unbeknownst to all the Guests there was more to delight.

***

The last chamber of Colleen’s Heart oozed calm and peace

As she had come into her own as she aged and matured,

She boosted her confidence and discarded life’s dirty trash

Learnt to say no and dealt with previous pain she’d endured.

***

“Ladies and Gentlemen, feel free to linger longer in this chamber

Bath and soak in the feelings that saturate the walls in this part,

Allow the calm and peace to detox and de-stress your entire body

While thanking Colleen for allowing you to experience her heart.”
