Looming Conflict

Love’s touch gentle could not cope
With barbs of an unconscious mind
So took a step back in earnest hope
That God bestows sight to the blind

Rose in one hand, sword in the other
Prayer in heart and song on our lips
Innocence beseeches Divine Mother
May all relinquish ferocity ego grips

Sometimes we just have to slow down and take a step back and observe what is transpiring in our lives. Then prayerfully make adjustments through mindful and loving thoughts and actions. I enjoyed "Looming Conflict" my friend. Thanks for sharing, Bill

There’s a call to arms which innocent love disarms
