Love's Ubiquitous
My death will someday set my spirit free,
yet the thought of dying overwhelms me.
I cannot guarantee what death will bring,
and the end of life is a scary thing.
Hate and love oft vie for the heart of Man,
although most reject hate as best we can.
And though we are easily led astray,
love's ubiquitous, not just a cliché.
We're creatures of love; that's just who we are,
it's the most innate emotion by far.
And when life's end comes, we'll extend that love
to reach the spiritual realm above.
Remember, you reap the harvest you sow,
there's no time for change when it's time to go.
Learn to forgive the slights you can't forget,
it's better to cry than live with regret.
My poetry, like myself, is unique,
I call on feelings far more than technique.
And stress what is inferred between each line,
to know me, let your heart guide you to mine.
Angels and God exist if you believe;
reality and faith oft interweave.
Sometimes, you need to think outside the box;
a lifetime cannot be measured by clocks.
