On appeal I beseech no judgment be passed
or blame apportioned to love’s unselfish need
to highlight a section and necessary slice
of life’s commitment to give all to each.

How would it be if heaven were real
and vagrants patrolled the perimeters
plotting and planning unilateral takeovers  
and claiming for self unearned benefits?  

Chaos would reign like here on earth,
war would prevail in similar vein,
and beautiful crowns of coloured surrounds
no longer the essence of benevolence.  

Lessons of love and acceptance of loss
too hard to bear here are ladders to more
and invisible guides to riches untold
in the shield of soul’s protective coating.

Internal faucets sometimes can leak
the quintessence of soul into awareness
and one drop at a time forms a new base
for each footstep I take on solid ground.

I’d like to believe there’s a measure of truth
in the silent message from my inner worth
but the meaning gets lost in translation
and a decision is made without evidence.

I rest my case, there’s no more debate,
lest I be accused of planting a seed
where some would rather a fully grown tree!

MGROVES - thanks for the read but you know what they say - yes, "theories aren't real".

Honeybunch,
Excellent write "theories aren't real" is just a theory!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Thanks Larry!  You sure got me there!  It's good to be in a corner sometimes but this one has me trapped.  Well done!
