When unrest touches the soul 
Some may reach out only to find none to care, 
Nothing to return when nothing is given 
For the uncaring heart that refuses to share. 

Love and hate permeates throughout the earth 
Its results reflected in nature and humanity, 
The thirst for power and control, infiltrates the soul 
These results reflected in humankind's vanity. 

Love, our strongest force, and the only to endure 
Shared by the courageous, unafraid of this emotion, 
Tempers the oppressive clouds of hate 
These results reflected in humankind's devotion. 

Recalling all that you have, or have not given 
In your quiet moments, your heart returns to you, 
A heart cannot be given, it is meant to be shared 
Because at life's end, this is all that is you.
