As I lay awake
I hear the symphony of the Universe
The wind and the rustling of the trees
The soft jingle of the porch chimes
Calling to me
So I peek out my window
To look at the night sky
As I gaze at the beauty of the stars
I hear God's piano created by the twinkling
In this moment I imagine
I can bounce on the keys
Playing 1, 2, 3
For all of Heaven to hear
Now I may dream

Oh, Dove Chocolate how you mock me
as I devour you piece by piece
Each wrapper with sayings of loves infinite bliss
Such as,
"Love is a flower, friendship, and a sheltering tree."
And it is true, at most times, I believe this may be
However he decided to text me
and suddenly I am consumed with passion
Loves little evil friend
Forgetting he is a Hershey's bar
and I am Godiva.

But sometimes this is hard for my mind to remember
and then I go on rampage
Like a chicken without a head
and all I see is him smiling and trying
Forgetting all the empty years and tears
Without listening to what is deep inside me
I throw all care to the wind
Leading me once more to try again
To make something work that didn't work before
For when lust consumes love's compassion
I am often led to mistake true love's flower for just a thorn

Science is coming to realize what our ancestors already practiced
That all that is or ever was is accumulation of thoughts over decades of time
which is created by love or fear.

If this is so
I'd rather live from love my dears

I know this may mean I'll be left to be few among the masses
who believe coming from love is the essence of who we truly are
That all that exists is connected to all that once existed
Therefore, life is a continuous pattern of thought displayed by action

Which means
If we cut down trees we are really destroying a piece of us
If we ignore a man begging on the street  
We are really neglecting the starving parts within us

Which leads to the hope that
By giving compassion to strangers or caring for Mother Earth
We are in reality nourishing the collective
The being, the One

To forget this is to have no peace
To remember this lies bliss

To understand this, is love
To not, is to know you are love

In September I experienced something that by all  accounts of logic could not exist.
I awoke to this world truly seeing it for the first time.
I could hear the whispers of the trees and feel the richness of the Earth.
I reached my arms out to the sky and soaked up the beauty of the sun
And then I heard
~We are all ONE. We are all Connected. We are all joined by infinite LOVE~
In this moment everything made sense
I was complete
And there was nothing but unconditional love surrounding me
From then on, I knew life was meant to be a journey and not a destination
Oh, what joy this has brought to me
