Words and actions are the next step

Dreams in the air and wishes on the tip of your tongue dancing through your mind. Life in the old days seemed to carry greater ease among all of us. In some time ago it seems it may have been easier to love but love in today's world doesn't mean it's less important. It actually should gather more resolve and greater desire to make peace and harmony the main dish always at our table. Why is everyone so focused on so many other things that seem to divide us instead of unite us. The differences  seem to be the dark ones play ground as it watches us tare each other apart. When this happens this should set off alarms in our head heart and soul to change for the better and grab our neighbors hand and say come let us break bread together and bury the hatchet so far down in the soil that it never finds its way back. The preservation of man is in the power and ability of each person to take the high road. Look into each other's eyes and say you are more worthy of love than I've ever admitted and can we build the next sunrise together.
