16 April 2019 | National Poetry Month WebPoetrySlam

April 16, 2019 By Annis Cassells

Mind sets...
 
Pettiness propagates pettiness...
Constricting one’s life to emptiness... 
Self indulgence, a paradox of happiness 
Fleeting pleasures, a constant source of anxiousness…
 
Generosity generates graciousness...
Liberates life to the freedom of the spirit, gratitude
In its fullness...
Beyond  the shackles of human bondage limitless
In that freedom, many hearts beat to the rhythm of love...  
In oneness.
 
~ Sudha Reddy

    I especially enjoy “many hearts beat to the rhythm of love”. Wonderful truth in this piece.
