Open

as open as the plains of Africa,
seeing the wonders of
creation.
a child's mind,
to see and learn.
open as a well,
a water hole for all to drink.
as open as a tear duct,
a heavy heart washed clean.
as open as one can,
to tolerance and over standing
is to open the mind,
to knowledge and wisdom.
therefore,
open your heart,
to love,
and be loved,
and by opening your hand to friendship,
a friend,
you, might
find,
opening the door to possibilities and probabilities,
and
more likely,
freedom.
ultimately,
finding peace of mind is your goal - this you
should strive for…
be open…

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
