A person’s heart and life
Expand as love takes hold

All that they do and think
Becomes better

Each person discovers
The breadth and depth of joy

I can last through any travail
When trees are right beside me.
The breezes blow out on the beach.
Until gale forces rise again.
The heart transcends the calms or gales
And holds to solid center
Of love and kindness
The anchor made in times like these
Holds beyond life’s evidence
