Conduits Of Pure Love



Angels with whiskers, a tail and four paws,
are conduits of pure love
without human flaws.

No harbored grudges. Nothing to forgive.
No spurious intention.
Just live and let live.

No pompous ego. Nothing to forgive.
No snobbish condescension.
Just live and let live.

No vengeful scheming. Nothing to forgive.
No specious retribution.
Just live and let live.

No bogus charades. Nothing to forgive.
No conjured imitation.
Just live and let live.

Angels with whiskers, a tail and four paws,
are conduits of pure love
without human flaws.
