THE BEAUTIFICATION

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

there are no walls more tender
than the walls of love
that keep us in
many build walls for the wrong reasons
they seek to keep out love
yet it's the unknowingly built walls
to house love better that the
less self aware over look
life is a lovely ivy upon a trellis
if fed and tended properly
it grows tall, green, strong
and beautiful
if neglected for other more shallow
self interests
it still grows
but shabbily and desperate
clawing its way outward, upward
and over just trying to hang on
to any available mooring
this ivy good landscapers either
cut down or cut back
pruning the mess to better grow
some people just the same
come into our lives to either
cut us down or cut the wild
vines back some so they can
more healthily grow
God enlists a multitude of
varying skilled gardeners
to aid each soul
to better branch out
and they are hired and fired
as needed for
'The Beautification'
of the best possible life
that particular soul can control
there is much mercy woven into
this process
we may not be able to see it
but it is there
ever guiding us on..............

Author's Notes/Comments: 

How some people if wrongfully selected come into our lives to destroy rather than to improve upon the quality of the living we are doing. That was the general aim of this poem as it was coming to me I felt.
