God Is Love

If you lean onto Love,
You will have conquered it all.
Its application is ubiquitous,
The things it can do are measureless. 

Be warned,
It can break before it heals,
It can cause chaos before it brings harmony,
You must trust the process. 

Love is a universal doctor,
A surgeon that operates without anesthesia.
Sometimes you need the pain, fear, or hurt,
To comprehend its irrefutable power. 

When it manifests, 
It breeds compassion,
Produces kindness,
Brings about peace,
Strengthens courage,
And promotes unity. 

You are its product,
You cannot exist outside its boundaries,
Because love is to being, what water is to body,
It must be home base for all of our actions. 

Let His love,
Flow abundantly in you,
Heal every wound,
Break every chain,
And drown all your fears and worries. 

Let it make you whole,
And make your heart your home.
For God is love, 
And he that dwells in love
Dwells in God
And God in him.

Mother's Hands

Like a newborn baby
In its mother's hands
For the very first time.
Like a marsupial animal
Carrying its joey in its pouch,
The warmth of abundant love,
That transfuses between mother and child.

Her hands are fertile soil,
Plant any seed in them,
It will surely grow and bear fruit.

The calming embrace 
Of her cotton hands,
The softness, 
And feeling of being home.
The worries of the world
Unable to reach the mind,
Sedated by the cushion comfort,
Occupied with fantasies
Of never leaving this home,
These hands of a mother.

Nature Vs Google - Unrhythmic Villanelle

Without uttering a word, nature preaches. 
A google search may hold all the answers except for 'self'. 
The watercourse way reveals the solution one seeks. 

A cloudless sky, a blank canvas. 
Over four million results for 'self' but none about self. 
In the direction of purpose, the river flows. 

The best teachers of life's cycle are sunrises and sunsets. 
The moon's phases hold more responses than Google itself. 
Each sunrise carries more hope than a thousand quotes. 

Trees heal without charging fees. 
Maps directs on every journey except on the path to finding oneself. 
Nature's constituents are the best counselors for feeble souls. 

Where better to learn the beauty of patience than from the enduring oaks. 
Voice often knows how to assist except with emotional health. 
The wind blows and alleviates the weight of doubts and worries. 

Each sunrise is a second chance, 
On a hunt for the input that gives an output for self,
A new chapter is cued by each moon phase,
To get to the ocean, follow as the river flows.
