You asked about resolution, friend.
How the fragile flower
withstand drought, flood and gale?
By dying into compost;
by shedding patient -- but potent -- seed
on soil seemingly barren;
by giving way to the wind:
agile, supple, surrendering ...
not fearing to become frayed and tattered.
Love is sometimes an outcry
of sanity. Do not label that insanity.
Do not try to cure
those needing distance and detachment.
Let expansion be inwards
and not outwards. Let Love embrace
without touch.
Hold hope like a shield
to protect your heart pierced.
Let faith replace the kiss of lips
prompted by meaningless prayer.
Be silent, hush.
Do not fail Love, Beloved.
Love shall always overcome.

Congratulations!
We judge our experiences - loss is bad, gain is good; but feeling is not always truth. You take a deeper look at life and love and find rich soil. I enjoyed the words and thoughts, it gave me a kinder perspective on what I have seen.

let faith replace the kiss of lips prompted by meaningless prayer...
The words are a divine revelation given to you by God Himself.
Your words are always a comfort and bring hope back to these that have none and to these that had but lost.
Good luck in the contest.
God Blessess you with a divine pen. His light glows on your face pretty one
