All that spirits desire, spirits attain.
Kahlil Gibran

..................................................................................

 

They all said,

we were wrong to fall in love with each other

that girl is from across the tracks

and her skin is brown

remember you are a white boy,

and we don't mix with those kind

her folks said

he dozen't speak our native tongue

and he dozen't know our ways or customs

besides the point

he worships a heathen God

but our God

is the God of all

and God knows

I see love in your eyes

for we don't care

what the world may say

and our children

will be as good as yours

all that matters to us

is that we have found each other

and we will never let go

I liked this Peter...and You and I know that God sees the heart and not the color of ones skin...well done

We have little to no control over who we fall in love with, Peter. Families should butt-out and be happy that their child has found true love. It is not about them, it is about you and they need to accept that fact. I am glad that you stuck to your guns, Peter.
Take care,
Sherry

Dearest Peter,
this really spoke deep in my soul and touched me deeply, precious healer man. It radiates such beauty deep, deep within your soul that the carnal mind’s of others may not always see. It shows what a tremendous gift of grace to have the heart you have…Those glorious Heavens winds look after you so much, Peter.. As always your spirit inspires and heals this dove, me..

(((Love Forever, Dove )))

The naked eye sees color...the mind's eye sees harmony in all the living. Your poem is about the heart and this is where love feels without sight interferring. For Mother's Day Mariah gave me a collector's edition of "The Prophet". I've been reading it this morning.
Thanks for your love and insight Peter...for all of us poets.

Love knows only LOVE. And that my dear friend is all one needs to grow stronger in the Grace of creations greatness. The Creator of ALL FLESH AND LIFE used color throught-out creation to show humanity that the more color one has in life the more there is to appreciate and adore.

Good day my dear friend. GOOD DAY :)

Love knows no bias, no jugdgment, does it find. It takes the heart, and bares it, and if it deems it good; then, to it, binds. Art

Love is all encompasing regardless of colour, creed, or religion...the later however, lay's false claim to the initial concept. Top write Peter.
