One of the
Biggest mistakes we
Make is keeping
Ourselves from others
Whether it’s due
To fear or
Degrees of protection
People prefer truth
So why not
Offer it up
Because sooner or
Later it’s going
To surface much
Like the rocks
In a field
Once mistaken for
Potatoes that simply
Can’t be peeled
One more
Conversation with
God last
Night please
Don’t ask
Me for
Answers He
Said I
Give you
Failures and
Surely that
Is enough
We all enter
This world alone
Empty purses with
Empty hearts in
Which we then
Place fondness and
Affections and love
We also withdraw
From that purse
The exact same
Things donating them
To others and
Realizing that little
Remains for us
We stand huddled
And alone broken
Until at last
Someone tosses in
A few coins
A few more
And then many
It is not
How full the
Purse is that
Matters it simply
Matters that it’s
Empty for only
Then can it
Be filled again
Again and again
There’s a
Type of
Love which
Most people
Assign great
Value they
Consider it
The love
The best
Love or
Grandest love
The one
Love and
The forever
Love the
Marriage love
And the
Affectionate love
The love
Of rings
And promises
And oh
The love
That the
Creator anoints
But really
That love
Like so
Many others
Is just
A love
A present
Love no
It’s not
Puppy love
Or giggly
Love or
Summer love
Or even
The friendship
Love try
Not to
Pander to
Hierarchies of
Love just
Love simply
And beautifully
Love isn’t
Ever easy
Especially the
Great loves
Great loves
Require great
Things with
Great people
That must
Be willing
To enjoy
Great times
As well
As great
Loss great
Loves are
Great simply
Because of
Their inherent
Ability to
Change the
Course of
Your life
If you’re
Not willing
Settle for
Something less
Great loves
Demand greatness
From both
Whether it
Be Heaven
Or Hell
