Untitled
When allowed to break
A simple key
Able to close off minds
To shackle possibilities,
bind a heart.
A powerful tool.
Able to destroy bonds
To create tension
Cost us happiness
A strong cornerstone
Able to crumble connections
To ruin lives
End what matters.
When we practice it
A simple key
Able to open minds
To unlock possibilities,
Free the heart
A powerful tool.
Able to strengthen bonds
To resolve conflict,
Bring us peace.
A strong cornerstone
Able to grow a relationship
To create futures,
Secure one’s love.

I would love your thoughts and curious how many will come up with the concept (a single word) in my head when writing.
