I've been thinking I that I had imprisoned love--
in
my
heart.
But I am now not so sure.
It seems to come and go as it pleases.
So maybe I have not given love enough space-
Does love need air?
Love sneaks in
and out
of my heart.
I have seen it.
I watch it-
-warily-
out of the corner of my eye-
All the while I know
love, kindness, and compassion
are to be embraced joyfully-
and
It is my careful and measured reactions
that spill positive energy away from me.
I step back from myself.
The walls become
crumbling blocks.
And a door covered in roses,
God left open just for me.
It has always been open.

How often do we miss what has been there all along? Exquisite photograph.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sharon-I am pretty sure my left brain (which is always fretting) is just afraid of what my right brain sees.
