Regained
Love is the absence of fear
Standing close to the fire
But not near enough to burn
Only warmth and light provided
To draw forth kind comfort.
Seeing is excellent
But clear vision is better
Being able to read and write
Without squinting or mistakes,
Knowing what is and is not.
Hearing is needful
But listening makes clear
The meaning of the conversation
With less room for confusion
Helping dispel some delusions.
Life is love
When little doubt, less pain
Is in life entertained
When many things are hard
There is less to run toward,
But love still holds arms out
All the reasons known about
Inviting the troubled soul
To embrace, climb aboard,
Action taken, shaken, love restores
Calm gentleness brings peace,
Into heart, mind, soul, evermore.
