Love not Hate

As Valentine's Day approaches, I was searching round for a poem to celebrate the day when I found this one I wrote in 2006. Sadly, it still seems relevant to the world today.

Love not Hate


Sometimes the news is hard enough to hear
Let alone live through
We have let hate win
If we allow for one minute, these borders of fear
To run among us
Dividing our hearts, separating our minds

The truth is this
The dogmatic mindset that brings violence, distrust
Fear and hate to every doorstep is no weapon at all
Against love
The sanctuary you crave is the human heart
And it beats in every one of us

Violence cannot win
Because it cannot see
How blind it is
To the truth
The walls of hate it builds
Only serve to imprison it

The human heart will always fly free






Is this it

Is this it?
Is this where we find some middle ground?
A place to feed
Not on prejudice and greed
But to share, face to face
Our wealth around
A token, a portion, a weight
How much for love, hope and faith?
It's a small heart indeed
Who turns from the need
To sit down and sort out this place

Is this where we find
A place to hear
Not to argue or bicker or lie
But to talk and find out why
Far too many of us live in fear
Is this where we find some middle ground?
A place to lay the foundations down
For a humankind who are no longer
Full of hate, anger and hunger
Is this the place?
Are we welcome here?

Will we leave behind our superstitious fear
And open our hearts to find a way to sit down
And settle on some middle ground
Is this it?



Ripplestone ~ meditations

Imagine a calm pool, throw a small stone into the pool, watch the ripples spread out, feel your stress slip away with them.

~

All stones sing their songs
Ripples in memory pools
Your heart hears it now

~

Stop for a second
And hear the poem of your heart
Singing here and now

The Call

The breeze lifts on the lake
And the leaves do not hesitate
To echo the call
Trembling breath

I am on the mountain
And the flags are praying
And the breeze is saying
Find this love
Open your heart
And I lift my life to the sky
And catch the light of the world in my eyes
The key is always in me
With all my love
With all my love

If you have forgotten, I will find

If you are uncertain, I will reassure
If you are sad, I will comfort
With all my love
With all my love


The breeze lifts on the lake
And the leaves do not hesitate
To echo the call
Trembling breath




love
