If Only ...

No matter how hard we try
We’ll never meet some people in the eye
With all life’s twists and turns
Peace with others we often yearn

Chemical reactions in our mind’s
Attraction or repulsion is their charm
Observe these sensations in ourselves
Are we truly under a spell?

To act beyond our kinder ways
To forget that love can save the day
To think before we say those words
No one need ever yell
Or curl the tone of loving-kindness
When sometimes ignorance does blind us
To be the saviour of our minds
To take meter every time

If only we could really try
To see the apple in every eye
To embrace dear heaven in our hearts
Dance and celebrate the love in us

I'm with you Suzie! That is my prayer also. Maybe if enough people pray it and try and live it - ya never know what could happen! Right?Thank you so much for such a loving and well written poem.

A beautiful message. I think we are often under the spell of our own brain chemistry. The ending is very nice.

The reality of mankind is that we are guided by emotions and yes these may be only chemical reactions but the difference between love at first sight and desire is often smudged by the viewers singularity.
Love has so many levels and so many gray areas but you are right, if we all try a little harder to love then the world would definately be a better place.
hugs and love
