Prickly Pear

Tell me what you love & not just what you hate.
Boundaries are good; but don’t forget a gate.

If your loved ones only know, of your dislikes;
All we can do, is respect your wall of spikes.

See, if you built a sluice, to let some love in;
We would have a way to show it…now & then.

Even putting flags upon defending walls…
The coat of arms they bear, would inform good calls.

We’ve so much love for you, just across your moat.
We’re always listening for you to emote.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
