Meaningful Choices: Consequential Love

A Valentine’s Day Epiphany

Human romance,

Such a delicate dance,

Joy and sorrow,

Just wait for tomorrow.

-

Loving you, loving me,

Infatuation leaves,

Commitment and caring,

The place to be.

-

Our darling baby,

GOD’s gift ain’t no maybe,

Purities fountain,

A mother’s embrace.

-

Even pride in a tribe,

Or national anthem,

Patriotic and loyal,

Community bound together.

-

But alas revealed,

Beyond the personal,

Outside our own circle,

When our fates are sealed.

-

A stranger’s misfortune,

Poor choices or,

Simply karmic proclivity,

Do we see?

-

A Seagull’s broken leg,

Survival in question,

Healing energy shared,

Lifetime gratitude bared,

-

Our injuries sustained,

Those slights received,

Selfish pursuits revealed,

Leaves decisions to be made.

-

Holding onto the grudges,

Remembering the pain,

Ego’s payoff now plain,

Only martyrs remain.

-

Raising above,

Learning the lessons,

Letting bygones be gone,

In light there is no longer darkness.

-

True meaningful choices,

In forgiving we are forgiven,

The one and only,

Consequential Love.
