There is no need to
Hideaway except inside
The circle of love.
*****
I found wild roses
In a color burst beneath
Branches over me.
*****
Where we go from here
We may not know every proof;
The bridge back is closed.
*****
Some things are given,
Others are taken away,
Smile just for this day.
*****
Love as if you have
Only this moment to care,
Never look away.
*****
Be the trip taken
Beyond every one’s unknown,
Lead each heart to love.
*****
Difference is spice
Added to the great banquet,
Where all are at home.
