True to Onself

love means so much more
when you receive it without getting
a glimpse of the giver - true love is
seen through deeds

when you give a sincere thought to
what you had done and their rewards
- good and bad - you realise that it is the
divine talking to you right in your hearts
teaching you to be true to yourself
so that the world can be true to you
that love is all that matters
taking an ounce of it away makes
the heart an ounce heavier
