Love Is the Cure
"Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink ~
Let's reform now hermit, for we're on the very brink"
~ quote by poet
On earth we dwell in the midst of many forms
but each soul is in truth living all alone,
carrying heavy burdens through turbid storms,
unable to share fears and desires homegrown,
whilst secretly seeking radical reforms
in happiness index despite toxins sown;
such is the strange paradox of our thinking,
resulting in swamps of apathy sinking.
The cause of our despondency is quite clear,
being simply a case of head over heart,
where self-centredness blocks God from drawing near
and although we may employ free will to start
shifting our consciousness and let His will steer
our life, adding thus joyfully love to cart,
we will continue to dwell in dark despair,
simply because our head and heart do not pair.
Upon choosing to give rather than receive,
our Father in heaven becomes pleased with us
and then our destiny He Himself does weave,
whereupon adversities do not nonplus
since cravings of lower mind cannot deceive
our vibrant, blissful soul aboard God's bliss bus;
with this understanding, let us now dissolve
deluded concepts to here and now evolve.
