Good Morning

Time is running away

Have mercy

here and now

Don’t keep your

heart on lockdown

Have the courage 

to love without expectation 

Sometimes breaking your heart

can fix your vision

Just remember 

love is the only permanent 

It’s the source of all of life’s

Heart stopping beauty 

and

Breathtaking kindness
