Love's Intention

Intention leads us to 
     spiritual revelations,
Serene contemplation 
     of becoming one 
with the colors of life.

Scents that elevate the 
     soul to higher levels 
of realization help us 
     grow and share that 
divine part of us coming
     from a place of love.

Water, like our intention,
     finds its own way to 
filter through obstacles.
     Our connection flows 
within these pure waters 
    in divine liquid love. 

Earth rises into mountains 
     propelling dreams into 
reflections of the rise and 
     fall of man, yet only 
when we release our grasp, 
     do we move forward to 
obtain the unobtainable 
     souvenirs of love.

Beautiful sentiments and philosophy Connie - Your last verse sums it all up and you brought it all together in your last three lines so nicely - 'when we release our grasp, do we move forward to obtain the unobtainable' - Love the picture too. Maria xxx

Beautiful and verging on the philosophical, Connie. As in the case of water, were our heart and mind based on clay, love would not be able to seep through. Warm regards // paul

Well done! You laid out the complex in lines of simplicity that are so intelligent, but of spirit not mind. I just love this and embrace it. Did I say well done? For it truly is a great delivery of truth and I am thrilled it was written by you! Love ya ... CayCay

Water takes on many forms with each being of separate importance, yet contained in the same element. A lesson from Mother Nature. Thank you Harry. : )
