Love, Above All - My Spirit

Dejected on my bed this morn, I lay while contemplating, what seems to be a day to face, I’m really quite unwilling The peaceful place that used to be for me was so inspiring, has come to be now tainted with such hatred and despising. I used to get up from my bed an hour early to see, to share what’s new, to grow, to live, to love more perfectly. Each new day that unfolds with friends who greet excitedly, felt like I’ve touched the heaven’s gates where I wanted to be. The special word that’s meant to love has come to be vitriolic, what used to be a happy place has now been melancholic. Why can’t we just forget our pride, a soul that’s embryonic? An open heart and mind will help lower blood’s diastolic. What good is it if we can talk to ad infinitum? When all the others think an adder fills our heart and cranium. Will wounded hearts be even healed with simply an erratum? When people can no longer see which is our mouth or rectum! Our love for self and things should not be so that it replaces respect for him, regard for her, a love that recognizes each one's unique, no one’s above, this love’s the one that reaches out with sincere humility, forgiveness, it amazes.

You got it! We all leave this world in the same way, so we might as well treat everything with the respect it deserves. It's funny that we sometimes talk about the same subjects but with only slightly different words and images. You are a kindred spirit. Have a wonderful day, and I hope your outlook is all good! We are certainly fortunate to be able to share our words like this.

Profound write, Kim. Lots to dwell and absorb. Like Tim said....peace is at times transitory, but Paul does admonish us to do everything in our power to keep the bond of peace. Not always an easy thing to do. Thanks for visiting my work....Very sweet of you. Hugs

WOW Kim...VERY good rhyming of hard to rhyme words, especially verse #4 and the LAST line of that verse is hilarious! Reminds me of the saying: 'He can't tell his ass from a hole-in-the-ground'...Great wisdom and insight mingled with sadness...I think you've got a winner here - Tim
