Love is our Attention

‘Life is Love and Love is all Creation.’

Words of more than lyric consolation.

The heart lies in the place of mind’s attention

Building worlds of singular invention.

(2013)

This is a quick short effort but it touches on a theme I want to express which is about what we choose to spend our time thinking about and how these moments build to become the actual fabric of our lives. With this in mind more and more I question any time expended feeling angry or hateful no matter how apparently noble or pressing the cause.

Thanks Cory, much appreciated.
It doesn't convey the whole concept. I need to expand it to include the ideas I put in the notes.
I think I'll read some stuff and get some inspiration, more on structure than ideas.
I want to write some lighter stuff but always end up going deep!

That's a blessing!To change it up you could keep the light stuff deep and the deep stuff light... then call it tantric poetry...
They won't know what hit em :)

You've nailed it there - my stuff is very direct and I think that may be my style. I'd love to weave the ideas into different observations to represent the themes but I think that's another level of creativity..I read John Donne 'the flea' - clever and funny analogy - made me laugh when I realised its all leading up to him trying to persuade a girl to sleep with him!'stiltskin :)
