Motivating Force

6/11/11

Love is energy

filling indomitable parent

rising bone tired

caring for children,

it catalyzes dreams

of new couple

giving them wings

powered to fly,

arrives as passion

in artists, musicians,

all who create

from inner fire

bringing them joy

plus others witnessing,

often it's confused

as sentimental patriotism

that condones killing

for security reasons

delivering the opposite,

there's nothing stronger,

more omnipotent, flexible,

able to transform

dysfunctional human foibles

into healthy balance

as Godsent gift

bequeathing motivating force.
