    love

    After darkness comes light.After light, darkness again.This is the way of things.Cold turns hot,hot turns cold.This is the way of things.All that arisesfades, collapses,and is taken up againin another form.Can hate turn to love?Yes.But how?Our brains are not written...

    • hello dearest Benny lines are drawn and free speech is dangerous these days where if the tolerance and love for each other well said❤

    • If we find the root. Yes, easier said than done. I believe many prejudices we may hold come from our parents.
      We are not born with them. Kids play with other kids, all other kids. And then later on as they grow older, they see and copy.
      Can we ever go back to that innocence? that acceptance of everyone who is different from us?
      I believe in this poem. And if we can figure it all out, maybe we can first understand ourselves and then understand and accept others. This poem sent me on a journey of introspection. Thank you.

    • This is a very powerful and meaningful writing, dear Peterl!
      In my opinion, love and hatred, darkness and light and other counterparts are the two sides of the same coin. Without darkness we were not able to recognize and appreciate the light. Both sides come from the same divine source and are equally important. But it is up to us which side we want to feed energy and establish it this way. We have to BE the love and the peace we want to see in this world!

    Still waiting for hope to tap me on the shoulder.   Still waiting for something to whisper into my ear.   Still, nothing as such! I am alone and I hate it!   I’m waiting for you to turn me around   and scream that you’re here! And...

    The Edge of Beginning

    They lay together in the bed,the night outside fadinginto quiet shadows,she resting on her back,slender and soft,her white blouse patterned with tiny prints,buttons running down the front,jeans snug over narrow hips,her small frame barely filling the space.Her beauty was...

      Amen to that.
      If this isn’t a love song I don’t know what is.
