when love comes : softening

when love comes

its power is so strong

it can take all in its path

into is mouth

and with the liquid flow

dissolve the sediments

softening too

the rigid places

grown hard with neglect

when love comes

open your soul

even if you feel the barricades

do not let fear or doubt or judgement block the way

of that ocean

how could they anyway

we are not meant to become

dried out pillars of calcified salt

bitterness steals the love the Universe so longs to bestow

on us

so open to the flow of love

let nothing at all stand in the way of

this

your

softening
