A Grain of Thought and A Grain of Love

Is this all?
Just a grain of thought
That makes your mind go round
Giving rationale to your whole dream world
Sweeping you in its enchanting abyss
Swoosh you go in its clutch
Liberating yourself
In its nest

Is this all?
Just a grain of love
That you so wishfully desire
To sway you in its mesmerizing dance
As it excites your inner cores
Freeing your soul’s scuff
And surrender
To love

    1. So very true Grace, it too has the power of either make us or break us; make us a better human being or the worst one too. :)
