I love…
because I know
no other way of breathing.
The heart opens up with
an immense light
embracing everything
along its path.
I don’t know
how to stop
even when the rude,
the insensitive, the hurt,
and the nasty
come towards me
trying to dim my flame.
I have no shield to stop
the heart break for you,
them and all.
I love…
because the alternative
is no longer available, reachable
or able to exist in me.
Something opened up
the depth of my soul
to this rawness, vulnerability,
an explicable sense of truth.
No one is born evil.
Life molds them,
trains them,
and beats the goodness out.
Everyone had a mother,
a father,
a person to care or…
not care.
That is what caused them
to be this way.
I love…
because compassion
always wins
even if you can’t witness it
immediately.
It is the ripple
taking its time and space
to mend the world
and all that is unjust in it.
I love…
because the Divine is guiding
that piece of me towards a miracle.
It only takes one
to begin the effects
of a selfless heart.
I love…
because even with ego
someone
cared enough to hold
your hand,
kiss his cheeks,
and touch the inside of her heart.
