While working on my vision board I ran across this photo which inspired the following poem.
Roses aren’t always red
That’s just what’s stuck
In our head
Like many other things
We accept the first thought
Our mind brings
Let me question
Each thought
Not just accept it
Mull it over
Look at it from every angle
Let me remember
Grass isn’t always green
Skies aren’t always blue
Oceans aren’t always deep
But true love
Always comes from You
Love is frowned upon today
Anger and angst are more Acceptable to display
Love gets lost
In societies dark shadows
Let my ego stay quiet
Retired from my mind
Let me live my life
Full of love
And joy
And curiosity
Work through me to
Encourage others
In simple ways
In magnificent ways
In totally unexpected and
Miraculous ways
