Love, Intention and Peace, A Poem

Why do intentions of love turn to hate
It starts with conflict, not feeling so great
If we process our conflict when it is still small
It won’t build inside us, so big that we fall


The way our world is supposed to be
Is a heart connection between you and me
Not romantic, gushy love
But recognizing we’re all born as enough


When we know we’re enough, in this moment today
We begin to see and feel them the same way
As we gather in love the power is great
Love begets love, makes smaller the hate


Here’s the odd thing, there are people who fight
About what is wrong, about what is right
Fighting because we don’t feel enough
Need to prove we’re better by being so tough


What if we all made a choice to choose love
Love over hate, every day just because
Emotions are good, don’t get me wrong
If you process your feelings, your hate won’t grow strong


Process emotions, process each day
Over and over, clearing the way
Resentments don’t build, hate doesn’t grow
Our path to peace: love ourselves and it shows
