Rooted in love,
Grounded in substance,
of the matrix of our heart
that maps us from country to country,
continent to continent,
home to home,
cell to cell.
When we sift through
the hatred, greed,
immaterial and political divide
that should be banned,
colors collide.
Won’t you stand with me and ban all racism,
all segregation,
all judgment
and be the light of the world?
I wish you peace, so
You might sleep.
Enough food that your belly is satisfied,
presence of mind,
that you might think before you act,
instinct, to ward off danger,
Love so you may remember together,
we are one
and always hope,
so we unite and wake up
to always do right,
Rooted In Love.
Blessings of Love,
💗
Cindy

I think one of the most important speeches I have ever heard is Carl Sagan’s “Pale But Dot”. This poem is a good reflection of that speech.
Thanks for sharing that with me!! ❣️
I loved this Brian. I just listened to it, I so loved this. love the end..”save us from ourselves” “Save us, not yet”.
I choose hope and love the pale blue dot and you for sharing, 💞
I think that should be required listening/viewing in every public school at a minimum middle school.
I agree with you! 💞
Beautiful. ❤️

Such A Lovely Poem All Rooted In Love Dear
Cindy Perhaps You Are Born As i am Reported
By my Mother OPen Arms For Every Stranger
No Division for me Even Before i Could
Speak At age 4 All One World to
Hug With SMiLes Yet Sadly
Not All Children Are
Born With These
Deep Free Loving
Roots With No Exclusions
Or Particularly Fed and Watered
Yes Gardened With Love ThiS WaY
Too As THeir Leaves of Their LiVinG Trees
May Only Turn Yellow in Fear and Not Abundant
Green RiSinG Our LiVinG Trees Even More to the
Point of A Golden Age Where Our Leaves May Fall
Yet Fertilize FRoZeN Winter Souls Bringing Spring
Love Back Again Summer FLoWeRinG
Evermore Dear FRiEnD Hehe

Poets Naturally
Become Global Citizens of
Love Dear Cindy As Back in my Working
Days With the Military Places To Eat Were Separated
in Castes of Enlisted, Chief, And Officer As i Started Out
Civilian Equivalent At The Bottom of The Die Hard Caste
Hehe 3 Degrees From University Did Not Vault me one Tiny
Bit True in These Disciplined Places of Work Rank And Grade
of Pay Separates Folks By Military Living And Die Caste
Amazingly RiSinG to NF-4 Equivalent of O-4 Major in
the Marines By When i Retired Early So Very Ill
Ever Since 2008 On Annual And Sick Leave
A Year And A Half through 2009 to
Officially be Relieved of the
Federal Working Years
of Golden Handcuffs
To Find Some Kind of
Escape Eventually From Work
Purgatory to After Work Hell for
66 Months to 111 Months and 8 Days of Heaven
on Earth Now Within So What Has Changed Yes
my Pay Grade Is Love my Pay Rate is Love And my
Currency is Love Now The Green Paper God Replaced
As Leaves of Love Still Spreading From me Now With SMiLes
Yet You See Not All Children Are Born With Open Arms for Every
Stranger i
Accept that
Others May
Not Be So
Fortunate to
See and Be the God Of Love Within For Real
FoR ALL So What the Hell Yes i Love the Folks in the
Other Places As Much As Heaven For Real New Now..:)

Oh my gosh Cindy my friend, how emotionally charged, powerful, and so poignant this poem speaks to us. You have such a huge, compassionate, loving, and empathetic person. This resonates so much with me:

all judgment
and be the light of the world?”
