I fly as the crow flies
whenever I can,
bypassing the roadblocks
created by Man.

Go straight to the Heart,
in matters of Love.
Treat others with kindness,
be the Soul of the dove.

At all times stay calm,
be the eye of the storm.
Bend gently in tempest,
be as tassels of corn.

Sometimes it's not easy
to bend with the wind.
But it always feels safer
to me, in the end.

May ripples of LOVE
become waves of PEACE

Very true and so beautifully written, Kacey

Thank you for your kind comments on my first poem posted in Passions, "The Twilight Hour". I've added two more but as yet have not received any feedback.
I have just finished reading your poem and I really loved it!--the cadence, the message.
I also noted that you have posted an impressive number of poems! Look forward to reading some of them.

And ya know what?  It counts as a stretching exercize, too!!  I am finding this very appropriate tonight...in a good way.
