I Know a Place

Did you get lost looking for love? In the madness of the jungled hate? Did you trip over the seeded promises, In the tangled vines of the market? Did you get hurt looking for justice? In the shopping mall of pretty verbs? Did you feel stinging, biting bugs, When you explored the wilds for love? I know a place where you can go And find the love you need! You can find the calm in the crazy, And you can find warmth indeed. Did you realize the place I suggest, Is the safest place to be? It is not the jungle or the rat race, It is here in the presence of me. 5-30-2023 This or That Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh

Beautiful. The Trinity is our first love. Hopefully not to be forsaken for conditional pseudo love. Very calming : ~I know a place where you can go And find the love you need! You can find the calm in the crazy, And you can find warmth indeed. Did you realize the place I suggest, Is the safest place to be? It is not the jungle or the rat race, It is here in the presence of me.~ Great poem, Miranda
