Love and Creativity

These days, there seems to be less room for opinion and choice
Like walls closing in, leaving little room to breathe
Freedom truly becomes more and more distant
Like a flower in a field, becoming only a dot to see
People are so focused on how others think
Trying to remove their personal thought process
Even discounting research the person may have done
To live in unity, is not trying to control or force others to conform
Respect is diminished in a mission by those who want things one way
There should be no fear of the expression of opinion 
Or censorship against those who only want to express it
Choices made can depend on one’s lifestyle, beliefs or condition
Solutions can come from adapting to one another’s differences
Because all and in the end, we are not all exactly the same
In comparison to nature, nor are the trees, the flowers, the birds
When we accept these differences are what makes this creation,
So colorful, moving in a blend of inspiring success….
The light shines upon what brings us together in a common ground truth
          That love and creativity is what connects us all

Heidi, I get this totally.you have a clear vision of what's going on. Unfortunately, we don't allow for differences, so we become islands..drifting further and further apart. Our existence depends on listening not shutting people off. We can learn from each other. Pangie xx Pangie xx

I am glad you can see what I am talking about. You are right, and we are drifting further apart due to what is happening. We can learn from one another. Thank you Pangie :)
