Maybe Love

Maybe love

Is more about giving that getting

Heart wide open

Ready to embrace the world

Body soft and supple

Like a new born baby

Ready to be here

Fully surrendered in the now

Without too many defences

Maybe it is enough to know

That when the hurt goes in

We can recoil and learn to know it as poison

Though it can cause us to ache

And our heart to break

There is a way that the centre of us will ingest it

And digest it

Eliminating that which cannot give us nurture

Learning the signs to watch for

So that we can detect

What means us good

Rather than ill

We can just learn to wield our shield

With grace and elegance

Deflecting poison arrows

Subtle barbs

Allowing them to fall to the ground

Making our spin away

To face the place

Where the sun of love is shining

And our spirit can find a way to be rising 

From any past hurt or pain

That wants to keep us locked away

In a dark space

So far away

From serenity and grace

Free to be love

Feel love

Express love
