Free from Hate
May 9, 2012
I sit under the willow
The branches sway
Back and Forth
My heart is content
My soul is at peace
I can feel the birds watching me
Their melody wraps around me caressing me
I am Kind and loving
The sun beats down and shadows my eyes
i see the world clearly
Everything is beautiful
The world is done with war and I feel free
Free from the noise of our world shattering
Free from the fact that no one is perfect
Free from hate
And open to love
"If we only love those who love us, what reward is that?"
