givers versus takers

 

t’is my mind that can’t be quiet and still from

anguished thoughts as to how people have

chosen hate and war over Love and peace

 

my enthusiasm and hope is still present for i

have witnessed some young people who have

much promise, they are givers not just takers

 

mine eyes couldn’t close to rest from tears welling,

incessantly running down my cheeks for the lives

wantonly lost in Ukraine, at the hands of a monster

 

i choke of angst, trying to breathe while lying down,

trying to relax and rest my weary muscles and bones

so that my spirit has strength to rejuvenate

 

‘do not disdain portrayals of love or feign affection

but receive with open arms and heart life’s every

emanation, for loves they will falter and tend to fade

away and hearts will get scorned and cry from day

to day, do not fold within like a flower that sleeps

at the end of its season, be like a perennial, always

leave a little room to start again’
