Love Is The Toughest Seed

TOUGHEST SEED

A lone voice,

I dare not speak,

To harsher hearts,

To destroy they seek.

I love all people,

I don’t need to know who you are,

There is so much beauty,

Be that rising star.

All the lost opportunities to show each other,

The light that shines in your eyes,

We are so inward,

So focused on needs,

That the love – our fire – starts to bleed.

I can’t blame you for your busy life,

You don’t know any different,

Our life is strife,

Growing up with expectations and social codes,

Guides your life unconsciously,

A burdensome load.

You all have potential,

The seed of holy light,

You don’t need to be religious,

To share in this right,

It is the simple act of giving,

Even when you haven’t received,

Is the toughest test,

To grow the toughest seed.

We have to rise above the darkness,

It is not all doom and gloom and blackness,

Be aware of the information that infiltrates

your mind,

It is not the full story of this time,

There is much good news and happiness to tell,

There are small acts of kindness from women and men,

It won’t be reported on CNN.

We cover over our delicate heart,

To protect and harden,

The pain is so sharp,

But to open like a flower
let’s in the light,

To warm your beautiful face,

For the trial of the heart,
Is the heart of this trial,

And the point of the case,
Is the case in point,

For only when you win I win,
And this is the only trial worth
winning!
