A Poem by Victoria Lynn Hall
When it stopped being enough
to have enough
It started to become
too much
for some
And not enough
for others
When we stopped rewarding givers
over takers
We started
favoring the haters
And condemning
the lovers
When we stopped seeing ourselves
as whole
When we started believing
that power meant control
When our faith in a natural order
was lost
We crossed the border
into chaos
What would happen if we stopped striving
and surrendered?
If we could will ourselves still
and learn the skill of staying tender?
To stop looking and start finding in our hearts
what we always have enough of
To stop wanting and seeking and start
giving and being
Love.
