Paradox of the Heart

Those who live in Love struggle to survive

Starved for affection and deeply deprived

Beloved children keeping their spirits alive

Abused, broken, cast aside and left to die

Abandoned for embracing the blessed birthright

To have and to hold onto the vital golden light

That shines within our heart and soul so bright

Bestowed upon us by the Infinitely Great Divine

Waiting patiently in abundance for all to find

Lays growth, wisdom, healing, and new life

Currently trapped in scarcity within the mind

Expecting depletion to suddenly strike

Are those defensively living in fight and flight

Stolen peace, diminishing faith and time

And so they race to steal the lover’s prize

Once taken for granted and left behind
