The river of love

In everyone's heart there is a special place

a spring, a source from where as long as we live

spouts tenderness, cordiality, caring grace

limitless, filling our heart with love to give.

It's so easy so wonderful, so natural

to let that river of love and kindness flow

every day, let it run as a cascading waterfall

amazing flowers will on this river's banks grow

Down the stream, tame animals 'll come and drink

the love and affability that the river will bring

It 'll fill their soul and from within will spring

their own source of love, care and understanding

Further on, also wild animals will lessen their thirst

they might not have been aware of it at first

but love, kindness and charity is really what they need.

they will soon give up their dirty politics and greed.

Finally our river will meet the ocean, meet the sea

The water will take on the colors of that kindness stream

and everyone will enjoy; enjoy the amazing love

as the colors of our cordiality will reflect in the sky above

The magic swan

The magic swan

I passed a lake during a slow and lazy walk

And a swan of angelic beauty came to talk

All the secrets you had, she shared with me

It was there all in front of my eyes to see.

I could see all feelings you ever had in your heart

Some secrets were cute , some of them really dark

The swan showed me your thoughts good and bad

And what you have done and what you have said

After knowing your secrets, I started to love you more

They were a bit similar to those hidden in my own core

And it is with the real you, not with what we pretend,

That I want to be a good companion, the best friend.

Aufie Zophy.

==============================================

We are all human and have our small and bigger imperfections.

If every of our innermost secrets would be revealed

to the ones who trust us, would we still be trusted?

Something worthy of our reflection.

Here or there, we may have some work to do...

A woman gave an alm to a blind beggar leaving herself with not enough cash to hail a taxi. So she went back by bus. On the bus it was super crowded and she had to stand pressed between other travelers. The high heels, she had chosen to wear in the morning were hurting her feet and she felt bad about it.

Then while the bus was waiting in front of a traffic light she noticed two homeless men having a merry time. They were absorbed in a nice conversation and on and off they heartily laughed at each other's jokes. The woman on the bus enjoyed the scene. When the bus started to move, she could see that the two men had actually no legs.

She decided to get of the crowded bus a few blocks before she reached her house and to walk the rest of the way. Her feet still hurt a bit, but she thoroughly enjoyed every step, being aware of her own richness to have legs and be able to walk.
