As a petal, it’s delicate

It’s role, to placate

Ruffled emotional current

Making the mind errant

Love, a delicate flowering

Hidden, under a covering

If only the ego’s as shy

Peace, life won’t deny

As much in as out

Love’s great clout

Roughest of thoughts

Become pale dots

Joy isn’t seasonal

When the mind’s amenable

Love’s gentle ways

The heart can uncase
