Just a little
surprise
Your senses
awake
startle
your imagination
Discover
widen
your vision
your heart
I grasp truth
with clarity
We’ll sit and talk
there and then
Love is inclusive
There And Then

A lovely, meaningful poem that makes the reader think! I agree. I like this. Love should be inclusive. We need to let love flow from our heart! Thank you, Iris, for sharing. Best wishes.

Thank you for your evocative response. I’m delighted that this poem resonates with you. Indeed love is inclusive and more so with the state our world is in… it should begin with each one of us, remembering the marginalised especially. A pleasure to share and my very best to you. 🙏😊
