When it's
a reward withheld
from all
who either refuse to
or cannot
protect us
from our
fears,
sacrificing
themselves as pawns,
by taking
blame for the littered trail
of our
relational carnage,
life
becomes an angry progression
of
bridge-burnings in which
we one
day find ourselves
on the
wrong side of the river
with no
way to reach
those we
need.
Love only
blossoms when
it is
unconditional gift,
shared
not to turn a profit,
but to
set others free
to reach
their created purpose;
when
ownership and responsibility
replace
all excuses
for
failure and estrangement,
offering
paths to transformation. |
