Unwavering Poem by John Shea

Unwavering



Maybe I am angry perhaps I should start to forgive.
Many countries and streets I have lived.
My heart is tiring of the negative thoughts,
My mind sends of the battles I've fought.
Perhaps that's why some hearts don't survive.
For the mind must give healthy thoughts to keep it alive.
Please give me the strength, whoever will listen,
To forgive and listen to my heart,
Stand firm and make a new start.

Good imagery. The reader has empathy with a place most of us have stood. 'Unwavering'

'Listen to the heart - - start to forgive' - - - these phrases are central to the meditative verse here - they open the reader's mind to the way to freedom... thanks for this John.

I am truly in search of peace of mind. Then smile for the rest of my miles.
