Give And Take

We Are Able But Are We Willing

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished about 2 hours ago 1 min read
Noir Art

Beauty speaks when words cannot

Holding tight to what we’ve got

Deeply inspired by your creation

Desirable source of Veneration

What’s left to find and what’s off limits

Impressions drive our deep ambitions

Embodied in lack or power of religion

The means we need access forgiveness

The movement of our revolution

Besides the point of information

Baited outcome comes from inflation

Fueled by fear and desperation

Finding peace and satisfaction

Settling for a self restoration

In calming, weeping willows of green

Calm lakes of ripples so serene

Granting the wash, welcoming peace

Oiling the wheels in need of grease

The desire of souls and mended hearts

Where every man has played his part

To see the world for what it is

Swinging around on chandlers

With fragile minds full of love and knowledge

Lessons that can’t be taught in college

Learning to see the best of us

Rising above the precipice

A circle that lies and lifts this life

Drawing and erasing faulted lines

Created in the spur of moments

Forgetting conclusions should be left open

Acknowledging we are void of voices

Depending on influential choices

When the answer comes from deep within

Committing and confessing sin

Wrapped in the beauty that surrounds

Every single sight and sound

Delivering everything we need

When we lovingly concede

Granting hope for what comes next

Welcoming and welcomed as life’s guests

Needing to give and get the best

From the appendage in our chest
