Gentle and Loving Heart

Gentle and loving heart is all.

It tames the stormy days’ wildness toll,
Subsiding the seemingly incomprehensible 
Unfairness of the wild world numb contretemps.

Yet

It flames the homely wee joy, 
Intensifying the nitty-gritty fathomably
Gift of everyday serendipity godsend-- 
And only when 
the gentle and loving hearts (under)stand.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
