Make It So

Within the complexities of our minds We create worlds and circumstances When we thirst for the oasis of compassion But lack it in real life Then we conjure in our heads this tenderness We change what is in our grasp By reaching deep within our being We make it so If love is absent in this day of hate and rage And what we desire is not found Then, we must process and formulate The antidote to spewing venom We counteract these poisons For even if it's not easily found in the natural By bringing love to others and ourselves We make it so It is my belief that we are not the source Of this love we long so to possess No, we are all born of fleshly greed From whence we came, through ages past Out of dust we rose and into dust we fall But our Creator redeems each of us if we but ask For He is the source of Light and Love He’ll make it so

Yes, we certainly do make it so. I see the love and wonder of our being in many, and sadly, the lack there of too, as you write. Beautiful, spiritual poetry. Love, Shar
