Notes About The Poem

Love's Intention

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.

Paul Callus January 27, 2018 at 9:37 AM 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.

Viv Wigley January 25, 2018 at 1:58 AM Connie, you should be sitting cross-legged atop a Hawaiian mountain dispensing such truths. A lovely little piece. Viv x Connie Marcum Wong January 25, 2018 at 7:58 PM You are pretty right on Viv, but my knees keep me from sitting with crossed legs. Thank you! : )

Harry Horsman January 24, 2018 at 10:48 AM Oh love this Connie, love the water connection, which always finds it's own level, a lesson for the human race? I wonder. Connie Marcum Wong January 24, 2018 at 5:51 PM 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. : )
