The force of love

Sometimes I forget

There is either love or there is fear

Sometimes I forget

That it is human to be afraid

But surely the highest calling of a human heart

Is to love

Sometimes I forget

That it is in giving that we recieve

That it is in opening our heart

To the source and inner wellspring of love

That we heal

Sometimes I forget

That love does not divide

As the ego divides

When its expressing in its negative form

To believe the lie of separation

It was told

By those who don’t have love in their hearts

Sometimes I forget

That I can can choose again

When anger and pain

Makes me choose to be angry

To hurt and to hate for too long

I may not like the abuser

But I still can bless him or her

And say

Your arrows cannot pierce this heart

Whose most powerful shield, defender and protector

Is real love
