Balloons And Flowers
Love is a flourishing flower
that blooms in a sunless, cold night.
Hate is an ugly weed sprouting
fertilized by anger and fright.
Joy is a helium balloon
rising high in azure, clear skies.
Sadness, a heavy weight millstone
a sinking, huge burden of sighs.
Peace is a calm, wavelet ocean
a comfortable bosom for rest.
Conflict a tornadic fury
flinging mindful reason's behest.
Love, joy and peace overriding
all hate, sadness, conflict in life.
Our human spirit can conquer
the negative vices and strife.
