Fear rushes to accompany and stagnate in spaces where love is not mindfully proactively, stubbornly sitting already.
Oh but when love first moves in,
The space housed old clutter of ignorance and biases
Love gently replaced them with awareness and grace
Love might stays uncomfortably
But love can be valiant and persistent when it wants to be
It might struggle with old patterns of creaky furnitures
Shabbiest and central was this old raggedly looking unforgiveness
But love refurbished it
Love adjusts and gently pushes out every last dig and doubt
At the end of this journey, let’s claim
That we tried and rented it to Love
Love now stays here equanimously
We let love be the longest staying tenant
It decides it own adornments
A fountain of hope in the front
A reverberating windchime of compassion
A pool of possibilities of wins
Amidst a forest of life giving elixir
And so love hopes to stay here in prayer
Of forever enjoying this divine grace
Triggers wait for their turn
But they leave disappointed
Love stays abashedly enjoying its own company
It forgets all about who lived here before
Love takes it space unapologetically
longer than any fear or any pain…
As I plan for this journey
Let me claim and make an effort
So I can say
Oh I took that decision
I allowed love to move in
And now look at this transformation
All because love moved in …
