Tokens of love

Tokens of love
Can be big or small
But remember that
They count when from the heart
Give with the best intentions
Give with light and healing
Give with love and kindness
Give with everything
Remember that you love them
Remember that you care
Show them how much they mean to you
Show them with consideration and sharing
Tokens of love
Love in action every day
Let your love always surprise you
Throughout your life always

Don't flee with my emotions. I poured my emotions into a human who was half empty half full like the tale of the glass. My cup runneth over with passion to care, passion to share, passion to be myself no one else. I wish for all others the same freewill choice. To choose the desires closes to our hearts. At times those desires light at times those desires dark. A compatible companion with consideration for our imperfections aids our growth and maturity in the spectrum of right and wrong. When did the fleeing start? When did our disagreements start to pull us apart? At first our compromise to agree to disagree without a blink couldn't keep us apart. Now it seems a new day has nothing to offer; cause the person we poured our emotions into is fleeing with the other half of each other's heart. Learning love is a continuous road when love is poured into self first. The journey that can get turbulent at times yet continues to unite like spirits, minds, hearts, and liked bodies....
Enjoy!!!!

Buddha teaches the value of meditation
and that intuition is renown to creation.
For we are all but reflection’s notation,
some Yin and Yang without segregation.
Be free in your muse with consideration,
allow your soul to encompass rumination.
Be a constant reverie of deep contemplation
and you shall release your imagination.
Hypnotize your essence with pure expression.
You may find release in your past regression.
For beauty is found in a day’s decompression
with emotions liberated from inner repression.
It is innate sometimes to drown in depression,
but try to be emancipated without aggression.
Live a Zen lifestyle with balanced progression…
and free your soul from fear’s possession.

If fear was not so much a part,
A part of our lives, a part of our heart,
Would we climb much higher and higher still,
Than we ever imagine we would or will?
Would we say the things we need to say,
And have no regret at the close of day,
And never miss a chance just to be kind,
Resisting agreement with hearts that are blind.
And write a poem, a book, or a play,
And care very little for what others might say,
Doing the right thing because it is right,
Eschewing the darkness and choosing the light,
And to allow the yearning heart to reveal,
With consideration to how others might feel.
And reaching forth to take a chance,
On dreams, on love, or even romance.
So if fear was not so much a part,
A part of our lives, a part of our heart,
We could climb higher and higher still,
Than we ever imagined we would or will.

In the middle of the universe, I stand
How can I complain when everything is grand?
In a vast space so immensely deep,
A watch for unwelcome hooligans I keep.
In the middle of the universe, I am
So spacious, so vast, no traffic jam;
Yet as the silent void within the enormous skies
I wonder if we are able to make an effort and rise?
In the middle of the universe, I am a wanderer
Are there beings like us surveying, I ponder;
Hoping there are other species to meet me and stay
For this would be an enormous and exceptional day.
In the middle of the universe we scrape by
Curious Earthlings for knowledge we aim so high;
With consideration space we shall conquer
An enormous opportunity a waste to squander.
In the middle of the universe, I stand
Everything strange around me, I can’t comprehend;
For God is the master of the universe
I shall willingly meet Him and converse.
