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
