Lifted to Love ~a poem by Linda Willows
Photograph by Grafix
Gift me wonder,
return me to raw…
Lift me to Love,
till my garden spills awe.
Let nothing remain,
that separates my heart
from the one direct view,
that we are, none, apart…
Grace me, let bow
all the tears of a life,
given mercy and might,
for the chance to end strife.
Tender the soft,
the gentle dear touch;
this gratitude, God,
this endless Love such…

You always have this ethereal, breathy nature, like summer wind on gentle green leaves. Gorgeous as always Linda.

The line ‘tender the soft’ is so perfect. Tender the soft is a wonderful way to live – period. Thanks Linda for all of your suggestions

I come from an inner world that must Tender the Soft and gently ask that of those who live in an intimate distance from me….Right, not large social circles…! but very cherished ones, that I would give very much to and for.l..ask yourself….slow cooked jasmine rice pudding with whole milk and heavy cream One hour stirring non stop…..o the Other with part skim and more sugar cooks thicker faster with cornstarch?
