Pour Your Heart Out

Pour your heart out
Pour it and see
Something inside
That is longing to be

Something is ripe
Something you need
Something you planted
Is going to seed

Love is the garden
That grows in the heart
Plant it and share it
To make a fresh start

Sweat is the swagger
That waters the weeds
Love is the kindness
That everyone needs

Water your garden
With love everyday
Flowers are blooming
To show you the way

Love is the choice
To be one with the Earth
Pour your heart out
For a peaceful rebirth.

Didn't realize I had something remaining to be judged. Thank you for reading me. Your friend, Bryan Love is the garden Joy is the fruit Kindness the seed In a spiritual root Harvest the joy Give it away Love is enough In a garden buffet.

This is lovely, my friend. My two cats you asked me about are not as affectionate as I'd hoped for. They just kind of live with me, doing their own thing. We got a nice Australian shephere named Lucy Lu, and Joe and I are both such a mess - me from my weird conditions and joe from an industrial accident that left him really messsed up. You'll have to email me again so we can talk
