Lost Love and the Heart

do not let lost love provoke the heart
nothing aims to stay the same
for everything there is a season

do not let lost love choke the heart
like the weeds that squeeze the rose
love is a startled bird that quickly flies away.

This is such a powerful, inspirational piece that flowed from your poetic pen, Allen! It's so easy to harden the heart when love is lost but we have to rise above that and free our souls to love again! BRAVO! Pandita
