Mindful of Love

I found myself lost in the past I found myself lost in the future I was looking around me, aghast I had to take hold of the water This is the spring of your life Its source, no mortal can know See the earth’s luminescent shine As it joins itself to the flow Make me mindful of love There are barriers barbed and tall Around trenches of our device There’s hardly a view at all With obstructions blocking our eyes This is the valley of suffering No Lotus and no peace The time is ripe for uncovering Tension must yield to release To make you mindful of love I look in my daughter’s eyes At the wisdom behind her few years Let me hang onto surprise Her stillness is beauty’s mirror This is anxiety’s ending And this the chance for my son His path unfazed and unbending His calling to newness has come Make them mindful of love © 2018 by K.
