Compelled

Sometimes, the hardest part of engagement is living within the silence.

Could you not absorb the scent of a rose held up against your nose?

Or avert your eyes from a cyan-blue sky after days of endless rain?

We are far too easily compelled by our senses, far too often

Aroused by our egos. But living within that silence makes

Ingenious sense once all your arguments have grown

Stale, and your heart is fully seasoned.

Such is love.

Peace
