Giving Versus Grabbing

A serene soul does not in darkness grope Ever envious and plagued with longing The sun offers life, warmly kindling hope Craving nothing and always belonging Earth like a brilliant sapphire glows Her flora and fauna breathing and living An astounding selfless bounty she sows While creating, renewing and giving When our giving spirits calm grasping need And them and us turns to us and we Then we'll be free of brazen greed And what a fine day that will be 11/7/22 Rotate consciousness polarity Poetry Contest Sponsor: Unseeking Seeker Giving vs grabbing
